We wanted to boost this post on Facebook to spread the word about our free Continuing Education workshop for mental health counselors, therapists, and social workers to learn more about meeting the needs of Indigenous Americans, but Facebook rejected it (TWICE!) because it contains a sensitive "social issue." We don't believe providing culturally-informed care and advancing health equity for all should be considered a taboo topic. Please help us by sharing this post. Especially if you happen to know any MFTs, LPCCs, LEPs, and/or LCSWs!

Indigenous people in America have the highest rates of chronic disease, more late-stage illness and less than adequate access to care. Historically, North American’s First People have endured the trauma of colonization, structural discrimination and racism, impacting generations. In WCRC's upcoming Continuing Educational workshop , therapists and social workers will learn about the effects of generational trauma, epigenetics, barriers to accessing healthcare and the concept of two spirits. Participants have the opportunity to increase their awareness and understanding of the experience of indigenous Americans today. ?? November 16, 2024 ?? 10 am – 12 pm, PST ? FREE | Online via Zoom ??? Register at: https://lnkd.in/gxUVyKGk This continuing education course is made possible through a generous grant provided by John Muir Health.

Thank you to the City of El Cerrito Recreation Department for hosting a fun and lively Senior Resource Fair on Friday! It was like an Old Home Week as past and current friends and supporters of WCRC stopped by the table to say "hello." Our wonderful volunteer, Peggy, drew the winning raffle ticket out of a bag for WCRC's self-care basket, and the lucky winner was happy to receive it! Congratulations!

Come join the Women's Cancer Resource Center TOMORROW at the El Cerrito Community Center and explore community resources for seniors!
