We are excited to announce the relaunch of The Institute for Healing Racism, coming this fall, to build on an initiative that has been core part of programming for over 25 years. Relaunching the Institute for Healing Racism as a four-session cohort is critical for engaging our participants in meaningful dialogue about racism and its continuing impact on our society. This initiative sends a clear message to participants that creating a more inclusive and equitable community is a top priority. By exploring the historical and systemic roots of racism, the cohort provides relevant and timely awareness and education. It encourages all participants to better understand and actively contribute to fostering belongingness and equity within the community.
