“I’m just trying to put food on the table”: Supervisory Neglect and Child Protective System’s Expectations of Black Birth Mothers
Presenter: Darcey H. Merritt, MSW, PhD
Inspired by our commitment to deconstruct white privilege and address the issues of racism that permeate the child maltreatment field, APSAC Commission for Racial Justice launched a ReadingClub in 2021. Led by a diverse group of professionals in the field, topics such as racism in psychotherapy, recognizing micro-aggressions in child maltreatment work, examining corporal punishment in the African American community and addressing white supremacy culture were discussed. These sessions encouraged questions and dialogue among the many participants who attended.
