ANNELIESE SINGH TO SERVE AS ACES CONFERENCE 2021 KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Dr. Anneliese Singh will present the keynote for the 2021 ACES Conference to be held October 5-10, 2021 in Atlanta, GA. In her keynote entitled Racial Healing: Practical Activities for Counselors to Explore Racial Privilege, Confront Systemic Racism, and Engage in Collective Healing Dr. Singh will describe core racial healing strategies that counselor educators and supervisors can practice in the aim of collective racial justice and liberation. In doing so, Dr. Singh invites people to explore their own racial healing so they can build stronger relationships across multiple races/ethnicities to identify and transform structural racism within institutional settings. In doing so, Dr. Singh draws on the human rights and freedom movements within counseling, and the unique role that counselors have in freedom and liberation movements.
