Sacred Heart University School of Social Work 2022 Symposium: Creating Anti-Racists Solutions: Our Stories, Our Narratives, Our Collective Healing

On August 10, Dr. Holly spoke at the first annual symposium on anti-racist, anti-oppressive solutions for systemic change hosted by Ph.D. in Social Work students at Sacred Heart University School of Social Work and the Office for Diversity & Inclusion. Dr. Holly's topic was Understanding Microaggressions: How to be Culturally Supportive

This symposium was designed to disseminate scholarly and community works addressing some of today’s most pressing issues within higher education, community settings and other social environments. Being anti-racist is not just the work of one individual or organization––this symposium generated and promoted lasting systemic change through connection and collaboration.

How can you learn from others while following your own path? What are some things to consider when working with diverse populations? Why is harm reduction so important?
In the third episode of the Diverse Clinicians Series, Joe Sanok speaks with Dr. Holly Sawyer about making therapy easily accessible to diverse populations.

Topamax: The Silent MAT in Treating Black Clients with Cocaine Use Disorder

Dr. Holly Sawyer presented at the NBCC Foundation 2022 Bridging the Gap Symposium: Eliminating Mental Health Disparities June 4–5, 2022, in the Washington, D.C., metro area. The theme for the Symposium is Elevating Families and Communities, with an emphasis on counseling skills, research, and resources that can improve, strengthen, or enrich the lives of families, communities, and those impacted by trauma.

Microaggressions can affect the mental health and well-being of BIPOC coworkers. It is important to be culturally empathetic and supportive to coworkers of color. BIPOC coworkers who experience on-going microaggressions and overt racism in the workplace often cope with drugs and or alcohol due to not having emotional support or a safe space.

Participants will be able to identify 3 types of microaggressions, microaggression type language and ways to address microaggressions in today’s cultural environment to ensure diversity and inclusion.

Participants will learn best practices on ways to eliminate microaggressions and how to be culturally supportive.

Participants will be able to define microaggressions and understand its psychological impact when they show up in the workplace.
