Workshop Description

It is imperative for social workers to practice self-awareness, cultural humility, and disrupt bias when engaging with clients from diverse membership groups. Through the use of reflective activities, video clips, storytelling and small/large group discussions, this workshop will provide a foundation for individuals and organizations to jumpstart their equity journey through an anti-racist lens. The instructor will also address how
bias and microaggressions present in social work practice, and strategies for addressing and disrupting bias. 

 

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Define racism at the individual, interpersonal and institutional levels
  • Describe how racial colorblindness as a racial microaggression upholds white
    supremacy
  • Identify 3 racial disparities that exist and the role in recognizing race in order to empathize, advocate and create space for conversations around differences
  • Explain the connection between implicit bias, stereotyping and
    microaggressions
  • Describe how bias and microaggressions show up and how they can be crippling to the mission, vision and values of an organization and community
  • Name strategies for disrupting bias
