SCCPA Resources for Anti-Racism Work and Diversity

 

 

SCCPA is 100% committed to enhancing psychologists' awareness and knowledge regarding systemic racism.  While vast in content, SCCPA purposely strives to offer a wide range of resources to our community.  SCCPA  does not recommend one resource more than another.  As members of SCCPA, we embrace and practice by the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (2003/2017) including “recognizing the fairness and justice entitle all persons to access to and benefit from the contributions of psychology” and respecting the “worth and dignity of all people”   (Principles D and E). 

The list was collected from a variety of means including SCCPA members and various listservs and websites. It has been reviewed by several SCCPA board and committee members with the intent to offer appropriate content that will serve the purpose of understanding the intricacies involved in racial matters, beyond cultural competence. Our hopes are to raise awareness and enhance change.

Many of the individual items were cited from Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klein and their original link here on Anti-racism resources:  Resources for Engaging in Anti-Racism Work.

 

Please note, this list  is a work in progress and will continue to be worked on to add information for other diverse communities.
