Training description:
Social workers, including Christians in social work, sometimes feel “shut down” if their views diverge from peers, colleagues, and even family members. They also struggle to remain true to themselves, to deal with their own reactivity and judgment, and to avoid becoming cynical toward others who hold differing points of view. Based on an integral ethics model, participants will explore the subtle ways we all get trapped in boxes of our own making that undermine our best intentions to actually be inclusive, and how to engage in more authentic dialogue with less fear and more confidence.
