This introductory workshop Implicit Bias: The Unconscious Threat to Equity will discuss and build towards a working definition of implicit bias that helps participants understand its impact in the real world. We will discuss how implicit bias manifests itself in varying personal and professional situations and the long term effects it can have on a personal and societal level. Participants will learn how they can measure their own implicit bias and learn techniques on how they can proactively reduce bias on a regular basis. 

 

Learning Objectives:

After the completion of this webinar, participants will:

  • Participants will recognize the 3 key components which make up implicit bias and construct a working definition for the term.
  • Participants will analyze how implicit bias impacts their personal lives.
  • Participants will evaluate 2 or more current professional practices which cause inequitable outcomes for themselves and their clients.
  • Participants will evaluate the five main implicit bias reduction methods, including X and integrate them into their professional work.

This workshop is approved for 1.5 continuing education credit hours.
