NIP’s Commitment to Antiracism

NIP is committed to being an antiracist organization. We acknowledge that the work of dismantling systemic racism is ongoing and that we are only at the beginning of this process. We recognize that the fields of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy have done harm and have contributed to the perpetuation of systemic racism. We at NIP are committed to looking honestly and critically at the ways in which we as individuals, and we as an organization, are implicated in racial oppression. We are committed to sharing in a collective responsibility to raise consciousness and disrupt practices that perpetuate systemic racism and other forms of oppression.

We recognize that the burdens of racial injustice have fallen disproportionately on BIPOC members of our community. We also acknowledge that antiracist work must take place alongside work to combat other forms of systemic bias. We strive to create a supportive, inclusive, and equitable environment in which each of us can openly and safely share our multifaceted selves. We endeavor to listen and learn from each other's individual stories and honor both our differences and our commonalities.
