NAAAP’s 4-point plan to address racism.

1. NAAAP’s Self Care and Wellness team can refer licensed trauma counselors and facilitators to assist in difficult conversations surrounding today’s social unrest. Contact wellness@naaap.org
2. LEADING IN A TIME OF CRISIS: NAAAP hosted a community gathering during which six of NAAAP’s diverse board members and our Interim President spoke about what leaders do in times of crises – the COVID-19 global pandemic and the on-going racism pandemic. 
Listen to the full recording.  An annotated summary is coming.
3. BYSTANDER INTERVENTION TRAINING  This training offers 5 ways to address harassment and bias when you see it happening. We feel that this training will help NAAAP members speak up and advocate for ourselves and others in a safe and personally suitable manner.
You can sign-up for 1-hour training here thanks to a partnership between IHollaback and AAJC.  If your chapter would like NAAAP to bring this training to up to 1000 members, please contact Junann Lopez.
4. TASKFORCE FOR INCLUSION:  On Juneteenth (June 19), a dozen NAAAP national and chapter leaders met to discuss our commitment to anti-racism and inclusion. We identified short term goals and a longer-term strategy to provide resources and education aroung implicit bias and forming partnership with organizations that address institutional racism. If you have the bandwidth, connections, and passion for this work and wish to join us, please contact Cyndy Yu-Robinson, Executive Director.
