Black Lives Matter

At Sample Supports, it is important that we continue to do our part in building a community that has zero tolerance for racism. Our role as social workers is to continuously advocate for social justice and to actively educate those around us to choose to do the same.

Picture

What action are we taking?

It is important that we continue to build on the momentum of the Black Lives Matter Movement and to make sure sure that we as a company are taking action to ensure we are taking necessary steps as an organization to show our support for social change and also make any changes needed ourselves.

Sample Supports has implemented several action steps based on feedback from our employees and leaders. We will continue to actively work on creating an inclusive and safe workplace for our employees and the individuals we serve.
  • Diversifying recruitment practices
  • Collecting demographic information
  • Focus groups to offer ideas and solutions
  • On-going training and professional development related to unconscious biases and racism in the workplace
  • Inclusion of individuals with disabilies in all of our action planning

What can you continue to expect from us?

At the same time we are collecting feedback, we are working thoughtfully on how to take lasting and impactful action.

​Sample Supports will continue listening and learning to create meaningful action in our workplace and our greater community. 

Please continue to follow us to learn more about additional action steps you can take as well.


Action Resources
​

The individuals we serve are often forgotten in conversations surrounding their communities and we wanted to provide tools for you to help people participate actively in protests or expressing themselves in the Black Lives Matter movement if they choose.

See the links below for a few suggestions on how to talk about racism, the
BLM movement, and understanding what is happening in our communities. Explore the full sites linked as there are significant resources from teaching to counseling listed.

  • Anti-Racism Resources for Social Workers and Therapists
  • Talking About Racism
  • Education on Black Lives Matter
  • Social Stories Explaining Racism and Racial Equality

At Sample Supports, we will continue to take more action and it is also important to recognize that it is important to start somewhere, even if it is new or uncomfortable. Any action is better than staying silent.  See the link for collected resources for taking action in whatever way is best for you or the individuals you serve. 

  • Resources for Taking Action - Activism, Petitions, Donations, and More​

As caregivers, it is essential to take care of ourselves while we are caring for those around us. See linked resources to help find inclusive and racial trauma informed therapists and a self-care resource page.

  • Self-care Resources for Social Workers
