Abstract

The chapter will focus on three main implications for marginalization and critical race theory (CRT) on the future of social justice advocacy work. First, addressing racism as a public health crisis through the lens of CRT will be discussed in examining current policy and future declarations, specifically within the profession of social work and other public health and human service domains. Second, how to heal through fostering healthy co-created community relationships will be discussed in relation to individual and collective self-care strategies that address the whole person, group, and community. Third, a value in social justice as a civic duty will be examined as a new way forward in reducing systemic and structural racism.
