NYC-CBT’S RESPONSE TO RECENT ACTS OF ANTI-SEMITISM

In the past year we have seen surges of violence and hate. Most recently, we have seen violence, vandalism, and hateful speech against Jews. We continue to condemn violence and hate toward any religious, cultural, and/or ethnic group. ADL.org >

NYC-CBT STANDS WITH THE AAPI COMMUNITY

NYC-CBT stands united with our Asian American Pacific Islander communities against AAPI hate. Over the past year, and with increasing frequency in the past few months, we have seen a rise in hate crimes directed toward AAPI communities. We unequivocally condemn acts of violence, harassment, discrimination and denigrating rhetoric toward individuals of Asian descent. Additionally, we continue to remain committed to helping our community of clinicians more fully and effectively engage with minority communities in need. https://stopaapihate.org >

BLACK LIVES MATTER TO NYC-CBT

Like so many millions of people across the globe, we are saddened and outraged by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police. We recognize that his death is only one of innumerable injustices perpetrated against Black people in this country, and indeed, around the world. We are heartened by the stand that citizens of all ethnicities and creeds are taking against racism. We fully support peaceful protest in the name of racial equality and social justice and we support the Black Lives Matter movement.

In that we want our words to be accompanied by action, we are donating $2000 to the Loveland Foundation, which provides financial assistance for Black women and girls to receive psychotherapy services. Additionally, we plan to offer future events aimed at helping our community of clinicians more fully and effectively engage with minority communities in need.
