Overview of The Mind Science of Bias and Healing Centered Engagement

March 28 @ 9:01 am

Date: August 9 and 19, 2022
Time: 9:00am—12:00pm
(via zoom)

This introductory session will focus on the Mind Science of Bias. The session will offer subject matter, research, and recommended strategies to address and mitigate implicit bias. Our trainer will provide information on identity anxiety and stereotype as another important consideration to address bias.

The examples from the research will be crosscutting in that the research shows that bias is pervasive and impacts decisions, actions, practice, and policy across many of the institutions and organizations that we encounter. Our trainer will also share information and findings from the Implicit Association Test, one tool that is often used to determine where individual bias may exist. As the group learns how implicit bias impacts decisions and outcomes, and hears about some intervention strategies, they will be encouraged to discuss how to implement them in their practice in small groups and dyad session.

You only need to attend one session as they will be the same on the 9th and 19th.
