Implicit Bias, Understanding the Impact of What We Don't See

Description: Research suggests that race and ethnicity are predictors of how services are delivered, and implicit bias is one component that has been identified as influencing the provision of poor care. From a prevention perspective, the insidiousness of unconscious bias underscores provider perception, unwitting use of stigmatic language, and influences assumptions that can lead to microaggressions affecting a person's capacity to respond to care and commit to their recovery process.

This interactive two-hour training will discuss how cognitive bias develops, is sustained by intrinsic and environmental factors, and contributes to inequitable outcomes for persons of color. The content will also inform on bias reducing strategies and person-first language techniques to enhance provider client interactions and effect quality services and increase equity for marginalized communities.
