The UAA Department of Human Services invites students, faculty and staff to attend the 2022 Alaska Forum on Social Justice, Diversity, Recovery and Ethics as part of its Summer Institute series hosting talks with keynote speakers, panelists and peers on Alaska's social issues. The forum is broken into three conference sessions:
Trauma and Addiction: Searching for Healing | Thursday, June 2, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. via Zoom
This conference will explore difficulties that providers encounter in substance use
disorder treatment and strategies to overcome client resistance. Current information
on substances used and their effects will be reviewed.
Addressing the Trauma in Populations at Risk: Social Justice & Diversity | Friday, June 3, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. via Zoom
The conference will explore perspectives of historical trauma and its impact through
the lens of populations at risk, including child abuse victims, immigrants and the
LGBTQ community. Protective factors necessary for healing to take place will be discussed.
Preventing Ethical Violations: Taking Risk Seriously | Saturday, June 4, 9 a.m.-noon via Zoom
The conference provides discussions on ethical issues through the lens of risk management
and addresses actual situations that resulted in ethical violations, complaints and
lawsuits.
The conference series is part of the College of Health's commitment to advancing health equity and justice in our state and beyond. Our college has identified this as a critical component in leading by example as we fulfill our commitment to Alaska's community and workforce development needs.
Please share this opportunity with students and community partners — all are welcome to attend!
