A Response to the Murder of George Floyd

America is in a state of grief, anxiety, and high tension due to the Covid19 situation and the murder of George Floyd. Both of these are systemic in nature and need a systemic response.
OAMFT stands with the Black community. We stand with all those who are touched by systemic oppression in Oregon and throughout this country. We extend our condolences to the families affected by police and racial violence. As therapists, we understand the trauma of persistent and pervasive violence and centuries of racism and hope we are part of the solution.

While we do not condone violence, we acknowledge the roots of it. We stand with those trying to change the minds and hearts of racism. We stand with our fellow Black therapists.

We fully support what AAMFT has stated:

"Our members, our clients, and our society are hurting deeply and we must stand together and in solidarity against injustice. There is no room in our society for inequality and it is vital that we use our platform, relationships, and training to enact change. It is a core value in AAMFT to support, promote, and protect diversity, to value all individuals and groups as free from prejudice and oppression as possible, and to foster a climate where equity and mutual respect are intrinsic.
Marriage and family therapists have a direct responsibility to counter racism. We are uniquely positioned to understand and recognize the systemic effect that oppression, inequity, and overt and covert racism have on individuals in marginalized communities and have a role in fostering healing and growth. Therefore, AAMFT stands in support of our members dedicated to advancing the fundamental rights, health, safety, and well-being of all individuals, relationships, and communities. We encourage all members to have authentic dialogue to advance systemic change. As an organization, we will continue to advocate against societal inequalities and seek solutions in our clinical, research, community, and policy work to ensure that vital change is occurring."
