摘要

系统性的种族主义严重影响了儿童福利服务机构为家庭提供公平服务的能力。关于CWS干预来解决这些问题的研究很少。Mining For Gold （MFG）是一家咨询公司，它与一些组织合作，为种族正义学习提供空间。目的采用混合方法探讨MFG对黑人、土著和有色人种（BIPOC）和白人员工关于系统性种族主义和白人优势的知识、关系和态度的影响。在2022年至2023年间，MFG服务被交付给67名BIPOC和白人CWS经理和高管。方法定量数据来自种族公正学习问卷（RJLQ）。曼-惠特尼测试用于评估BIPOC和白人员工之间的得分差异。对一部分MFG参与者进行了关键信息提供者访谈，以了解MFG的促进因素和与种族正义学习相关的障碍。结果bipoc员工（M = 15.03）的态度因子得分显著低于白人员工（M = 17.67）（p≤0.001）。BIPOC员工（M = 23.19）在关系因素上的得分也低于白人员工（M = 26.61）（p = 0.027）。确定了与种族正义学习相关的项目和组织障碍和促进因素。结论种族公正项目可作为CWS机构变革的推动者。实践建议包括关于期望和责任的明确沟通，以及白人工作人员利用白人优势推进种族正义工作。

“Why do we have to make you comfortable to deal with this?” Lessons learned from a racial justice program with child welfare managers

Background

Systemic racism has significantly impacted child welfare service (CWS) agencies' ability to provide equitable services to families. Little research exists regarding CWS interventions to combat these issues. Mining For Gold (MFG) is a consulting company that partners with organizations to provide space for racial justice learning.

Objective

We used mixed methods to explore the effects of MFG on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and white staff's knowledge, relationships, and attitudes regarding systemic racism and white advantage.

Participants and setting

Between 2022 and 2023, MFG services were delivered to 67 BIPOC and white CWS managers and executives.

Methods

Quantitative data came from the Racial Justice Learning Questionnaire (RJLQ). Mann-Whitney tests were used to assess differences in scores between BIPOC and white staff. Key informant interviews were conducted with a subset of MFG participants to understand MFG's facilitators and barriers related to racial justice learning.

Results

BIPOC staff (M = 15.03) had significantly lower scores on attitude factors (p ≤ 0.001) than white staff (M = 17.67). BIPOC staff (M = 23.19) also scored lower (p = .027) on relationship factors than white staff (M = 26.61). Program and organizational barriers and facilitators related to racial justice learning were identified.

Conclusions

A racial justice program may serve as an agent of change for CWS agencies. Practice suggestions include clear communication regarding expectations and accountability and white staff utilizing white advantage to advance racial justice work.

期刊介绍： Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
