From Oppressed to Oppressor: Moving Beyond Lateral Violence in the Workplace

Colonization, oppression, and intergenerational trauma affects how we see ourselves and how we function in the workplace, and internalized oppression manifests in lateral violence and the subsequent behaviors are destructive forces in the workplace. These dynamics directly impact organizational capacity and quality of services to individuals, families and communities. This workshop from the Indigenous Women's Justice Institute will explore these dynamics, challenge participants to self-examination, and provide strategies for reducing and preventing lateral violence in the workplace and personal life.
