Welcome to the Black Collective Training Network a membership organization promoting stellar content and diverse collaboration for collective impact to increase the Power Within Us.
The Collective began in February 2022 when about 20 clinicians, trainers, providers, and mental health business owners came together to bring the first Black Health and Wellness Symposium during Black History Month for Maryland social workers, therapists, and counselors. We collaborated with the National Association of Social Workers Maryland Chapter to bring diverse voices to the helping community.
We came together for a unified mission and vision…to make sure our voices are heard in the work we do. As social workers and counselors, we have twice the representation in our fields, yet, we only make up 21.5 percent and 18.8 percent of the helping community, respectively. As psychologists, we represent an even smaller portion at 4.9 percent and an even smaller, sometimes less than 1 percent, representation as Hispanic, Asian, American Indians, and Alaska Natives providers as community and social science providers.
The need for exposure and collaboration is clear.
The Collective infuses culturally diverse professional development experiences to fellow practitioners, providers, associations, and organizations as your premier resource for culturally considerate consultation on issues impacting communities of color.
