Implicit Bias Webinar Series; Part 1: How Implicit Bias Affects our Work: Starting with the Individual

Implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. Everyone has them, and becoming mindful of how implicit and explicit biases impact our work with others is important. Implicit biases can lead to unfair differences in the expectations we hold for those we serve, how we interact with them, and the learning opportunities we provide. This recorded four-part series explores the dynamics of implicit bias and its impact on our work in mental health. Starting with the individual, this series challenges you to reflect on your own implicit biases and learn ways to become self-aware regarding your own biases and microaggressions. This first session begins with a focus on the individual.
