A quarterly gathering for hungry minds and even hungrier hearts.
Join us at m.henry in Andersonville for a morning of meaningful connection, real talk, and ridiculously good breakfast. Breakfast Club is a quarterly meet-up for social workers, therapists, clinicians, and any other helping professionals who want to earn a few CEUs without the PowerPoint fatigue.
We’ll dig into thoughtful topics, share stories, and remind ourselves why we got into this work in the first place while we fill our bellies and support a local business. What could beat that?!
Limited spots. Big impact.

Code-Switching & The Emotional Toll of “Professionalism”
Facilitated by: Corinne Ferguson, LCSW & Jill Wolf, LCSW
Our inaugural Breakfast Club holds space for mental health providers navigating identity and systemic pressure. We'll unpack how professionalism is often rooted in whiteness, conformity, and ableism. We will also discuss the emotional cost of code-switching for those with marginalized identities. Through reflection and conversation, we’ll explore the resilience this labor requires and envision more affirming, strengths-based clinical environments.
Learning Objectives (for CEUs):
Define code-switching in the context of clinical practice and its manifestations across race, gender identity, neurotype, and queerness.
Describe the potential impact of sustained code-switching for providers by reflecting on their own experiences of code-switching
Identify accessible tools and liberatory practices that reduce the burden of code-switching for clients and clinicians alike.
