Description
This session will explore the ways that our implicit and explicit biases impact how we navigate and interact with the world. Additionally, we will discuss how our bias can positively and negatively impact our interactions with clients. Participants will be asked to access Project Implicit and complete the following implicit association tests (IAT) in order to actively participate in the session: (1) Race IAT, (2) Skin-tone IAT, (3) Sexuality IAT, (4) Weight IAT, and (5) Disability IAT.
This course meets the requirements of HB 28: Public Health – Implicit Bias Training and the Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities.
