Cultural Competence Webinar on Anti-Oppressive Practices

Anti-Oppressive practice is an emerging framework to advance attention to diversity and social justice in the way community systems and services operate. On Thursday, September 10, 2009, Laura Burney Nissen, M.S.W., Ph.D., national program director for Reclaiming Futures, and Ann Curry-Stevens, M.S.W., Ph.D., assistant professor and research fellow at Portland State University will host a webinar to discuss how concepts of oppression, privilege and disparities impact the way in which services are constructed and successes measured. The 60-minute session will explain the evolution of cultural competence frameworks and their impact on the fields of substance abuse treatment and justice.
