A Message from MITPP

By Tamar SchwartzJune 8, 2020June 11, 2020 Politics

MITPP stands with everyone mourning the loss of George Floyd and so many others who met a similar fate. The unconscionable targeting of the Black community is alien to our professional and personal values. MITPP was established in 1962 to train clinicians and has always fostered an atmosphere of cultural diversity and inclusivity.
MITPP strongly opposes systemic racism and is committed to working toward identifying and combatting internalized racism and toward freedom and justice for all, ethically and under the law. We believe that the current laws are in need of change.
