Social scientists determined we all carry unconscious biases due to a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, gender, gender identity, physical abilities, and other social constructs. Our brains are incredibly complex. We know implicit bias and micro-aggressions associated with it are activated involuntarily, without awareness or intentional control. Psychologists posit Implicit Biases we have formed can be gradually unlearned through a variety of de-biasing techniques.

We invite you to explore your own implicit biases as an individual and member of society at large. Diverse social groups are exposed to preconceived cultural attitudes that result in small gestures or comments leading to increased negative social-emotional impacts. Join us as we explore ways to suspend these unconscious judgments about ourselves and others. 

This workshop is a follow-up to the Trauma-Informed Practices for Schools (TIPS) training that Expanded Learning staff received in the 2019-2020 school year. It is designed to provide participants with an understanding of how to use a trauma-lens to identify the needs of students impacted by trauma as a result of COVID-19 and other traumas as well as build resilience in youth. The workshop will address the needs of all students, however it will also highlight specific strategies that relate to improving outcomes for students in foster care and other marginalized groups. Participants will receive strategies and resources that can be used in distance learning or face-to-face settings.

The webinar link will be emailed to registered participants one (1) business day before the session.
