We project beliefs and images about race onto others. These beliefs are often outside of our awareness. These beliefs become activated in a variety of situations. We construct others based on our beliefs and images and not on who they actually are. We may see others as dangerous when they are not. We are the dangerous ones. Our beliefs and images bring great harm to others. This powerpoint shows contemporary understandings of racism, how to become aware of our racism, and how to change racist beliefs, images, and practices.

1 Hour Session delivered to 3rd and 4th graders at Friends Academy in North Dartmouth, MA. We started off the session with an exercise - imagine a police officer, a doctor, a nurse, a criminal, a fire fighter, a family, a teacher, a basketball player, a boy, a girl, and more. Afterward, we compared similarities and differences. To our surprise, almost all of us had imagined the same family: a mother, father, and children who look like them. Almost all of us had imagined male police officers, fire fighters, and criminals. Almost all of us had imagined female teachers, nurses, and nannies. Several of us drew girls in skirts. Several of us imagined criminals in dark colors. Several of us imagined only White people. Several of us imagined only able-bodied people (no wheelchairs, glasses, etc.). And we did it all without having been told to imagine this way. After comparing, we pondered what would an alien species, whose only exposure to humans was in the form of these pictures, assume about the human race. We then extended the metaphor into the fact that we were, at one point, naive to all these messages in our very beginnings - we WERE aliens to this way of thinking at one point. We then analyzed where we got these messages. Clearly, everyone knew that men can be nurses, children do not always look like their parents, crimes can be committed by people in business clothes, etc. And yet, here we were, so clear on what society has taught us who these people are. We learned about the cycle of oppression, where stereotypes can become prejudice, then discrimination, then oppression, then internalized oppression/dominance. We learned about isms (racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, ageism, ableism, etc.), where prejudice plus the power to enforce it can result in systemic unfairness to groups of people. We then learned to identify situations where stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination, and isms might be at work. Finally, we discussed ways we can interrupt the cycle of oppression so that we, the people around us, and future generations can get beyond societal messages of what we should believe about one another.

Racism: We White People are the Dangerous OnesJane Gilgun
It's way past time that white people see that we are dangerous to Afican Americans and other people of color. In this powerpoint, I share the idea that white people are the dangerous ones and I provide ways to change racist beliefs and practices that make us dangerous. We define who they are and we act on our definitions. If we define them as inferior, we act as if they are and don't believe they deserve the rights and privileges we have. If we view them as dangerous, we are afraid of them. We may avoid them, talk about them behind their backs, bully then, beat them, or kill them. We are the dangerous ones.
Social Work-Specific Research and the Chicago School of SociologyJane Gilgun
Social work as an academic discipline has struggled to develop research methods and methodologies that are specific to social work. This set of slides shows the relevance of the Chicago School of Sociology to social work research. In fact, there may be a case for the name Chicago School Social Work Research. Hiding in plain sight are research methods that originated within the Chicago School of Sociology of the first third of the twentieth century and that have undergone further development ever since in such disciplines as sociology and nursing. Social work has not been part of the methodological developments that early social workers helped originate. Members of the Hull House Settlement were early contributors to the Chicago School not only in terms of understanding social problems and crafting policies and programs, but also in terms of research methods and methodologies that later became known as grounded theory, deductive qualitative analysis, and fieldwork.
Common Factors in The Treatment of Complex Trauma Jane Gilgun
Professor Gilgun draws upon research and theory on resilience, neurobiology, executive function, attachment, trauma, and self-regulation (NEATS) to present an integrated common factors model on work with families and children where the children have experienced complex trauma. Professor Gilgun will make use of case study material to illustrate the application of these important concepts.
This is the powerpoint for the first day of class on child abuse and neglect that I am teaching in the fall of 2016. I'm wondering what other people think of the content.
The Logic of Moving from Meaning to InterventionJane Gilgun
From Perpetrators' points of view, violence is good, but for anyone that violence harms it is not. This presentation shows that violence is mindless. The logical response to mindlessness is mindfulness. Mindfulness-based practice, therefore, is a logical response to violence
Self compassion & Relationship-Based Practice in Child WelfareJane Gilgun
Self-compassion is loving kindness toward the self during times of stress and in good times, too. This powerpoint describes compassion, self-compassion, and how to foster compassion and self-compassion in clients. This can old happen when service providers and service users have relationships of trust..
Growing older has its joys and challenges, just as earlier life stages do. This video describes indicators of living well, wisdom in old age, spirituality and aging, and gerotranscendence. Gerotranscendence is shift in perspective from a materialistic and rational vision to a more cosmic and transcendent one, normally followed by an increase in life satisfaction and peace of mind even when persons experience physical frailty.
Growing older has both joys and challenges, like every other life stage. As people age, they become free to engage in social and service actives that work and family demands did not permit earlier in life. This presentation describes vital involvement and wisdom in old age. As Cicero said more than 2000 years ago," If virtues are cultivated at every period of life, these produce wonderful fruits when you reach old age."
Girls' Aggression in Child Welfare Caseloads: Issues and InterventionsJane Gilgun
This presentaiton is an overview of girls’ aggression. We focus on relational aggression and physical aggression. We suggest that adults who deal with girls aggression view the girls in their family and social contexts and figure out ways to help girls express themselves in ways that promotes their self-interest and the interests of others. We recommend compassion-based interventions that include teaching about self-compassion, organizing young people to understand aggression and ways to respond to aggression, relaxation, yoga, meditation, sharing of inner experiences in safe environments, restorative justice, trauma-focused treatment
Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Disinhibited Social Engagement Disord...Jane Gilgun
This presentation discusses two types of serious attachment problems that are often found in children who have experienced complex trauma and disorganized attachments with care providers. Children who spent early years in orphanages and children who experienced multiple care providers and complex trauma are at risk for these disorders. The topics covered are reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and the new diagnostic classification which is disinhibited social engagement disorder, which used to be part of RAD. Some children who appear to have RAD and DSED should be evaluated for other issues, such as autism and fetal alcohol effects.
Some Guidelines for Working in Groups on Sensitive Topics: The Homicides of B...Jane Gilgun
The recent grand jury decisions not to indict the homicides of black men by while police officers have created a nation-wide storm of concern and protests. This powerpoint provides some guidelines for doing group work with people who share these concerns. The ideas in the presentation are meant to stimulate creativity and action.
Stages of Change & Reactance in Group WorkJane Gilgun
Social workers often facilitated groups for persons who don't want to be there. This presentation provides guidelines for listening to persons' concerns about being in groups and for helping persons identify what's in it for them. The hope of not hurting themselves and others are benefits.
Doing a Cultural Genogram: Hardy & LaszloffyJane Gilgun
This presentation describes the cultural genogram according to the work and thought of Hardy & Laszloffy. Doing a cultural genogram is an important part of becoming a competent helping professional. Emotional and psychological boundaries are central to effectiveness. Doing a cultural genogram raises subconscious processes to awareness, and thus professionals are much less likely to put their stuff on other people, including people who may be their clients and who are vulnerable.
This presentation is an overview of multisystemic family therapy which is an approach to work with children and families where the system in which families live their lives is the target of intervention. Thus, professionals operate within the various ecologies in which families live their lives. There are multiple evaluations of this approach, and in general when implemented accurately has good outcomes.
Building Models of Social Processes from the Ground Up: Two Case StudiesJane Gilgun
Social workers tilt at windmills. We want to create a just and caring society. All we have to do is read headlines of local, national, and international news to see the difficulties of the tasks we have chosen for ourselves. When we reflect upon the work we do, we have more evidence that our work may be never-ending. The bright spots, hope, and the vision of a caring world impel us onward. In this think tank, I will show how I have developed models of social processes that I hope others can use in their quests for a more just and caring society. In each of these models, I drew upon the four cornerstones of evidence-based practice: research and theory, practice wisdom, service user wants, preferences, and values, and my own personal and professional values, experiences, and reflections. The two case studies are 1) factors associated with good outcomes when children have experienced complex trauma and 2) a model of intervention with perpetrators of interpersonal violence.
Wimps, Punks, & Sissies: Men's Roles in the Prevention of Family ViolenceJane Gilgun
Men have a significant role in the prevention of family violence. This presentation demonstrates their importance, moves on to the significance of gender in family violence, the meanings of violence, processes that lead to violence, and strategies for prevention. Some of the content is difficult to think about..
General Family Systems Theory & Structural Family TherapyJane Gilgun
Ever wondered what general system theory has to do with circular causality and structural family therapy? These slides represent the most clarity I could come up with regarding these important ideas.
This presentation provides information about neurobiology and how our neurobiology underlies much of who we are. Topics include the limbic system, brain plasticity, the autonomic nervous system, and conditions associated with variations in individual neurobiology. The NEATS is a child and family assessment that directs attention to five areas of human development that research and experience has identified as fundamental. They are Neurobiology, Executive function, Attachment, Trauma, & Self-regulation
Happiness Research,The Autonomous Nervous System, and Perpetrators of Interpe...Jane Gilgun
In this presentation, I show that when people commit acts of interpersonal violence, they think they are doing something good, at least for themselves and sometimes for others, too. As I show, there is nothing wrong with their goal. Who doesn’t want the consequences of their actions to result in something good? The problem with violence is that perpetrators’ idea of good has harmful consequences for others, and, in the long run, often for themselves. Policies, programs, and treatment approaches are likely to be more effective if they are premised on the idea that the purpose of violent acts is to being about something good. Programs, policies, and practices would affirm desires to bring about good for the self but would work on alternative ways of achieving the good. If perpetrators of interpersonal violence dig deep enough and feel safe and protected as they do, they will change strategies and let go of their beliefs that violence is a viable and even valid way to attain something good for themselves. This article concludes with recommendations for next steps in understanding perpetrators of interpersonal violence and for new approaches to interventions.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

physical features based on beliefs & practices
held by persons who are members of groups
with more power, privilege, & prestige
• Physical features:
• Color of skin
