Many of you have asked about our recent pause in community and therapist programming. We have been actively reflecting on our teaching and training programs to ensure they align with our core values. At Womencare, we are committed to de-centering whiteness and enhancing inclusivity in all offerings, including professional training and workshops.
To achieve this, we are engaging with our staff and extended community members, particularly those who are BIPOC, LGBTQI-identified, and/or disabled, to guide this process. It is vital that we do this work thoughtfully and intentionally before resuming future programming.
We are deeply grateful for the consultation and wisdom we have received and welcome your feedback and ideas as we move forward. Thank you for your patience. We plan to return in 2025 with programs that uphold higher standards of inclusivity, antiracism, and anti-oppression practices.
In the meantime, we continue to offer professional consultation for mental health professionals in groups and individually. If you are interested in a consultation, please contact Lynn Gerstein, LCSW, at [email protected] for more information.
