Implicit Bias Part I: The Journey into the unknown, Part II: the Interruption

This Implicit Bias topic is covered in two separate sessions as a transformative learning experience designed to raise awareness and challenge the unconscious biases that exist within individuals and society. This class provides a safe and inclusive space for participants to explore and understand the concept of implicit bias, which refers to the unconscious attitudes and stereotypes that influence our perceptions and decision-making.

The class employs a combination of interactive discussions to help participants recognize and identify their own implicit biases. Through thought-provoking  and real-life examples, participants develop a deeper understanding of how implicit biases manifest in various social contexts, including but not limited to race, gender, age, sexual orientation, and disability.

The primary goal of the series is to empower participants with tools and strategies to interrupt and challenge their own biases, as well as effectively address biases in others. Facilitators provide evidence-based research, practical techniques, and open dialogue to encourage critical thinking and self-reflection. Participants learn about the impact of biases on individuals and marginalized groups, fostering empathy and compassion.

By examining the origins and consequences of implicit biases, participants gain insights into the complex ways biases are perpetuated and reinforced. The class emphasizes the importance of active intervention and allyship, equipping participants with skills to interrupt biases in everyday situations, whether at work, school, or within their communities.

Through this implicit bias class, individuals develop the capacity to cultivate a more inclusive and equitable environment, promoting fairness, justice, and equal opportunities for all. Interrupting biases becomes a lifelong commitment, fostering positive change both individually and collectively.

SCREAM: What to do when all else fails

This Class is a transformative program designed to equip individuals with the necessary tools and strategies to develop resilience and effectively manage compassion fatigue which is the cumulative physical, emotional, and psychological exhaustion experienced by individuals who provide care and support to others. This class recognizes the unique challenges faced by professionals in high-stress and caregiving roles, such as healthcare providers, social workers, therapists, and first responders.

 Through interactive discussions, and expert guidance, participants learn to enhance their resilience, which enables them to bounce back from adversity, maintain their well-being, and thrive in demanding environments. The class emphasizes the development of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and self-care practices to build a solid foundation for personal and professional growth.

 The “SCREAM” Class defines the actual word and then expands its understanding using each letter of the word scream as a tool for crises management.
