07/12/2024

We have our third Quarterly Workshop approaching on Saturday, August 3rd. This workshop will focus on the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Yes, we can Google the information so you might be wondering why I selected this topic as one of our four workshops this year.

*For starters, we are women! The overturning of this law DIRECTLY affects us!

*The maternal mortality rate is ridiculous. We are 3-4xs more likely to die from pregnancy, complications with childbirth, and/or postpartum care than White women.

*We are mental health professionals. It is highly likely that we are going to be faced with an ethical dilemma and must make a decision. Abolishing this law puts our patients/clients at risk. We need to establish a plan of action for when that happens.

We also like to grow personally not just professionally at Uplifting Melanin Queens, LLC™️. Dr. Shayla Polk, LCSW( Shay Valencia )is going to be our special guest speaker. She is going to cover From Burnout to Bliss: Prioritizing Your Work-Life Balance. There is always room for improvement and this workshop can help all of us continue to move forward in a healthy direction!

Attendees will earn 2 CEs from participating in this workshop. All CEs are approved through Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) and can be used for license renewal in your home state. Workshop registration is $50. The virtual workshop will be from 8:30am-10:30am CST. The Zoom link will be provided prior to August 3rd. The in-person workshop will be from 12pm-3pm CST. The location is:

4020 William D. Tate Ave.
Suite 208 (Humana Building)
Grapevine, TX 76051

*Lunch will be provided for the in-person workshop!!!*
