“Why do we have to make you comfortable to deal with this?” Lessons learned from a racial justice program with child welfare managers
Background
Systemic racism has significantly impacted child welfare service (CWS) agencies' ability to provide equitable services to families. Little research exists regarding CWS interventions to combat these issues. Mining For Gold (MFG) is a consulting company that partners with organizations to provide space for racial justice learning.
Objective
We used mixed methods to explore the effects of MFG on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and white staff's knowledge, relationships, and attitudes regarding systemic racism and white advantage.
Participants and setting
Between 2022 and 2023, MFG services were delivered to 67 BIPOC and white CWS managers and executives.
Methods
Quantitative data came from the Racial Justice Learning Questionnaire (RJLQ). Mann-Whitney tests were used to assess differences in scores between BIPOC and white staff. Key informant interviews were conducted with a subset of MFG participants to understand MFG's facilitators and barriers related to racial justice learning.
Results
BIPOC staff (M = 15.03) had significantly lower scores on attitude factors (p ≤ 0.001) than white staff (M = 17.67). BIPOC staff (M = 23.19) also scored lower (p = .027) on relationship factors than white staff (M = 26.61). Program and organizational barriers and facilitators related to racial justice learning were identified.
Conclusions
A racial justice program may serve as an agent of change for CWS agencies. Practice suggestions include clear communication regarding expectations and accountability and white staff utilizing white advantage to advance racial justice work.
期刊介绍：
Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
