KEYNOTE + TRAINING TOPICS

RACIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY TRAINING 

Jeremy began his racial equity work in 2017 after developing The Microaggression Game Training, which uses scenario-based learning to help participants understand how marginalized people might interpret, internalize, and react to daily subtle slights and insults. The Milwaukee County Executive Office later commissioned him to plan and facilitate the first enterprise-level strategic planning effort in 20 years around a vision of achieving racial equity to become the healthiest county in Wisconsin. He continued to advance racial equity initiatives as the creator of the Serve Wisconsin, Wisconsin's National and Community Service Board 2020-2021 service year's Racial Justice Training Series and Continuous Learning Initiative.

Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.

Reducing Mental Health Stigma Amongst Youth: Join me to explore the issue of stigma. Youth will learn how the brain, like all organs, is vulnerable to disease and the labels, hostility and discrimination often experienced by individuals with a mental illness, substance use disorder or an intellectual or developmental disability. Often, youth experiencing these issues may label and stigmatize themselves and their peers.
