It’s More Complicated Than That (12-09-26) IN PERSON at Montgomery County ADAMHS Board – Dayton, OH

Shevonne Nelson-Dillingham, MA, CDE, Director of People and Culture at Advocates for Basic Legal Equity

It's More Complicated Than That: Systems, Intersectionality, and Uneven Impact explores how people and systems make sense of complexity through interpretations, assumptions, policies, and norms, and what can happen when important context is overlooked. Using Kimberlé Crenshaw's framework of intersectionality, participants will examine the limitations of single-axis thinking, consider how systems can produce uneven impact, and explore the early conditions that contribute to layered harm. Through reflection, discussion, and practical application, participants will develop greater awareness of what may be missing from their understanding and how expanding the frame can lead to more thoughtful, equitable decision-making.

**Montgomery County Ohio residents (or those working in the county) and those in the surrounding area will be given preference**

CEUs: we will apply for Ohio Counselors, Social Workers, Marriage & Family Therapists, Chemical Dependency, and Prevention hours
