      White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

      Third Sunday of Every Month

      Next Meeting:
      Sunday, April 20, 2025
      3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

      Online Via Zoom

      The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

      How Do I Join? To join this group, please click here to complete our online submission form. Once submitted, a group facilitator will reach out to you for next steps.

      Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

      From Protection to Connection: The Relational Approach to Developing Kids’ and Teens’ Executive Functioning Skills

      with Hanna Novak, M.S., CCC-SLP

      In order for clients to be poised for connection and learning, they must activate strong executive function thinking, which is rooted in bottom-up regulation. This presentation explores the clinical and social-emotional implications of bottom-up nervous system integration and the ways executive functioning is both facilitated by, and a facilitator of the regulation clients need for learning. Attendees will gain a foundational understanding of the role that nervous system regulation plays in students' readiness for learning, as well as effects on the nervous system that may orient a student towards protection instead of connection and executive function thinking. The presentation emphasizes tools and strategies attendees can use with neurodiverse clients.

      Educational Goals/Learning Objectives:

      Participants will learn how attuned, bottom-up regulation organizes the nervous system so that clients can access the self-regulatory and strategic thinking components of effective executive functioning.

      At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

      1. Describe the role of nervous system regulation within the preview-do-review cycle of executive functioning.
      2. Apply a bottom-up framework to develop strategies to support clients’ self-regulation skills.
      3. Apply a bottom-up framework to support clients’ strategic thinking skills.

        Presenter:

        Hanna Novak, M.S., CCC-SLP (she/her) is the Director of The Center for Connection. She has a primary clinical focus on neurodiversity-affirming practices that support self-regulation, executive functioning, and communication development. She also works with teachers, parents, and professionals as a trainer and consultant to support students in ways that best align with their neural constellations. Hanna is the co-creator of The Brain Talk Curriculum, the owner and founder of Bogen Speech & Language Therapy, and the co-founder of KinderWay.co.

            Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group

            First Monday of Every Month

            Next Meeting:
            Monday, May 5, 2025
            9:30am-10:30am

            Online Via Zoom

            Free Registration

            The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

            Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

              Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

              For more information, contact the facilitators at mena@lacamft.org.

                Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group

                First Monday of Every Month

                Next Meeting:
                Monday, July 7, 2025
                9:30am-10:30am

                Online Via Zoom

                Free Registration

                The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

                Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

                  Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

                  For more information, contact the facilitators at mena@lacamft.org.

                    White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

                    Third Sunday of Every Month

                    Next Meeting:
                    Sunday, July 20, 2025
                    3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

                    Online Via Zoom

                    The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

                        White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

                        Third Sunday of Every Month

                        Next Meeting:
                        Sunday, September 21, 2025
                        3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

                        Online Via Zoom

                        The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

                        The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

                        Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

                          Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

                              White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

                              Third Sunday of Every Month

                              Next Meeting:
                              Sunday, November 16, 2025
                              3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

                              Online Via Zoom

                              The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

                              Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group

                              First Monday of Every Month

                              Next Meeting:
                              Monday, December 1, 2025
                              9:30am-10:30am

                              Free Registration

                              The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

                              Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

                                Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

                                For more information, contact the facilitators at mena@lacamft.org.

                                Second Monday of Every Month

                                Next Meeting:

                                Online Via Zoom

                                A safe place for healing, connection, support and building community. In this group, licensed clinicians, associates and students can come together and process experiences of racism (systemic, social, and internalized), discrimination, implicit bias, and micro-aggressions, along with additional experiences that therapists of African descent encounter in the field of mental health. As the late great Maya Angelou once said, “As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal someone else.” May this space, be the support needed to facilitate that journey.

                                Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

                                For more information, contact the Diversity Committee.
