Class Feature
Diversity, Social Justice, and Ethics for Massage Practitioners
Sunday, November 13
1–3pm
It is human nature to evaluate
others based on issues of difference. We all have biases. This class will
provide some solid grounding in social justice theory and the language of
diversity. As a massage practitioner, you will explore your own identity and
increase your awareness about how issues of power of privilege may impact your
work with clients. This class will be part lecture but is designed to be
experiential and participants will be expected to participate fully in the
activities and dialog. You will walk away with theory, language, and
self-awareness so that you can serve a diverse population of clients.
Combine this two-hour CE class with
one of the other two ethics classes being offered to meet the Washington State
Massage Therapist CE requirement for professional ethics.
