Cpss 332 Wk 3 Reducing Institutional Racism Resource Guide

As a human services provider at a community-based resource center, you have seen the effects of institutional racism. Consider how institutional racism and modern-day prejudice continue to create inequities across populations. Develop a resource guide with clearly outlined strategies to influence change at an organizational level, within a human services agency. Name action items to support organizational change to offset prejudice within an organization. This plan should be 700 to 1050 words and serve as a resource guide for agencies to utilize to implement systems change. In the plan, do the following: • Define institutional racism and modern-day prejudice. • Discuss potential impacts of institutional racism and modern-day prejudice on human services agencies. • Identify common organizational documents that should be reviewed (for example, mission statements, human resource policies). • Create a list of questions that agencies can use to review if services are provided equitably (for example, are interpretive and translative services provided for the most common languages spoken locally?). • Identify regular training for staff to create a more equitable work environment. • Recommend additional steps that the agencies should implement to mitigate the risk of institutional racism and modern-day prejudice. Cite at least 2 resources using APA format.
