South Los Angeles Critical Dialogue
Understanding community history is vital to responsible stewardship, whether you are an organization seeking to expand your geographic footprint or navigate neighborhood change. Dr. King developed in collaboration with community leaders in South LA and members of National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation a framework known as Critical Dialogues. This is an engagement tool for bringing community leaders and organizations together to create shared understanding of social issues of timely importance to the health of our communities, such as racism and gender justice. This event was part of a three-year series of monthly community dialogues and mental health provider trainings organized by Dr. King during her employment as Manager of Community Engagement and Behavioral Health Analytics at Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic.
