-an offering facilitated by Dr. Maria Angelina & Dr. Michele Bowers

Over the last several years, DBEI (diversity, belonging, equity and inclusion) issues have been a focus within the AEDP Institute. As AEDP Vancouver re-ignites, we’re interested in furthering a DBEI dialogue within our AEDP community here in BC.  

We would like to have an initial meeting for those who are interested in exploring DBEI. Some possible topics for ongoing exploration: 

• decolonizing therapeutic practice

• deconstructing the theoretical underpinnings of AEDP from an anti-racism lens

• AEDP & intersectionality

• how do we integrate DBEI into our AEDP therapeutic practice

• allyship

We would like to emphasize that we do not view ourselves as experts in any of these areas. We are practitioners committed to learning, reflexivity, and to keeping this dialogue ongoing within AEDP and within our professional practices.

Location: This will be a virtual meeting on Zoom.
