Shining a LIGHT on Mental DARKNESS
Presented by Sara Lowery
In this collaborative workshop, participants will explore the ways systems of power and privilege work to oppress marginalized groups in society. We will examine how the cycle of power relates to our understanding of the systems of oppression and use this knowledge to develop skills towards dismantling structural bias, discrimination, and injustice.
