À propos de cet audio

This episode features Lori-Ann Macdonald, who brings a lot of experience working in short-term counselling and in shelter systems. We talk about how she processed learning about the extent of historical white supremacy in social work, why she decided to become a social worker anyways, and how she allows that history to change her work with clients and colleagues. This episode is both for people who have worked hard to understand privilege and power dynamics in social work, and for those who are just starting that journey.
