Bridging Divides: Intersectionality, Oppression, and Equity in Relationship Work with Maureen Campion, MS, LP

As societal inequalities and cultural divisions intensify, therapists must support clients in navigating not just interpersonal struggles, but also the broader structures of power and oppression that shape them. How do we create meaningful healing spaces in this reality?

Join Maureen Campion, MS, LP, for a powerful seminar that explores the intersection of oppression, privilege, and relationship dynamics. Through a blend of lecture and discussion, you’ll gain the tools to help clients navigate the weight of systemic inequities in their relationships while reflecting on how these forces shape your own clinical work.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore how intersectionality, oppression, and cultural differences shape dynamics in relationship work.

• Unpack the impact of systemic oppression on attachment, security, and trust in relationships.

• Recognize and challenge therapist biases using anti-racist and feminist frameworks.

• Help clients process relationship struggles within the broader context of systemic injustice with effective approaches to issues addressing gender, sexual identity, race, classism, and economic inequality.

• Create a more inclusive, affirming therapeutic space for clients of all backgrounds.
