This book provides helping professionals an interdisciplinary structure to critique existing approaches that have failed to eradicate systemic inequalities across helping professions. This timely interdisciplinary contribution across helping professions offer providers sought after resources that many are clamoring for to improve their practice, their pedagogical stance, and their interdisciplinary knowledge as it relates to antiracism and antiracist approaches. Antiracism also requires helping professionals to translate research and theory into practice that will lead to actions that dismantle racism within helping professions. The chapters that follow answer the antiracist call to action by providing strategies for helping professions and professionals to become antiracist. This presentation of antiracist research, theory and practice responds to Kendi's (2019) call to action to examine and revise institutional policies and practices to become antiracist. Collectively this book contributes to existing literature by providing interdisciplinary strategies for helping professionals to engage in antiracism through critical evaluation of research, practice, and policies. Doing so empowers helping professionals across disciplines to employ antiracist strategies that deconstruct and dismantle racism embedded within the foundational origins, professional standards, and disciplinary practices of helping professions while simultaneously merging research, practice, and advocacy that adapts antiracist practices.
