Re: [#DIV28SUPER] Anti-Racism Statement and Diversity Plan

Let us not narrow our understanding of the racial unrest that is
presently being displayed around the world
As psychologists, we need to apply the professional skills that are
so important to our profession.
It would be unethical for us to apply knee jerk reactions in
understanding the dynamics of ,
the clients under our care. Understanding and comprehension takes time
to assimilate the dynamics of a
problem as it is presented to us. That which feels good to us is not
always in the best interests to the people involved.
