Fellow white people:
We have asked brown and black people to create trainings for us to better understand how to support them. While this type of training *should not* be necessary, here we are. And as it turns out, creating, hosting, and advertising such a training costs A LOT of money.
The training Dear White Therapists, created by Dr. Michelle Álvarez, Clinical Psychologist (a.k.a. The Honest Therapist) will cost $13,000 to create and maintain over its first year in existence. This is an insane amount of money. Let's pool and redistribute our resources so that the financial burden of creating this training for us is not shouldered by the woman of color who is *also* burdened with the energetic and emotional labor of being asked to make it in the first place.
To be clear, this fundraiser is solely about the cost of creating and maintaining this training as an offering. It is NOT a replacement for actually signing up to take the training itself - which anyone who is a mental health professional should also be doing! More information about the training itself is below.

What is Dear White Therapists?
Dear White Therapists is a racial/cultural competence training for mental health providers. A learning space to listen and to form questions about becoming an anti-racist therapist.
What is Dear White Therapists NOT?
This is not a place to shame or “yell” at white people. I have no interest in bashing white folks; I’m interested in organizing a team. But I am going to say some… things.
I'm sweet but I'm not going to sugarcoat.
Who is Dear White Therapists for?
This training is for all psychotherapists and counselors interested in being competent to treat POC, in being an ally to colleagues and others, and in eradicating racism, all from their own therapy couch. Although the course was created with therapists in mind, it is appropriate and of benefit to anyone, regardless of profession or race.
Why now?
I’ve been working on this training for months, but given the dual pandemics of Covid-19 and systemic racist brutality, you’ve communicated a need and desire for it NOW.
How is this going to work?
The course consists of four (4) hours of self-paced Video Learning. The material is academic and research-based, but
delivered in an intimate, conversational style. You'll also gain access to a library of anti-racism resources.
What is the cost?
I am not asking that you pay for this training. I am requesting that you contribute your time. For every hour of this course, I request that you donate a therapy session. When you charge your full fee for that session, instead of keeping the money, you donate it here.
For example, if your rate is $100/hr, your requested donation for this course is $400.
