Implications of Implicit Bias

This presentation will NOT be recorded for playback review.

In this comprehensive workshop, participants will delve into the intricate nuances of implicit biases and their pervasive impact on various facets of our lives, specifically within the realms of the workplace, educational institutions, and the healthcare system. The primary objective of this class is to foster an understanding of how unconscious attitudes and stereotypes, stemming from implicit biases, can subtly infiltrate and influence interactions and decisions.

The workshop aims to initiate a dialogue that not only sheds light on the origins of implicit biases but also explores their intricate connections to societal norms, cultural influences, and individual experiences. By cultivating awareness about the roots of these biases, participants will gain valuable insights into ways bias can manifest in everyday scenarios, contributing to an enriched comprehension of its multifaceted nature.

Particular emphasis will be placed on the healthcare setting, where implicit biases can significantly affect clinical treatment. The class will explore scenarios where biases may inadvertently influence healthcare outcomes. By fostering awareness and dialogue surrounding these issues, the workshop aims to equip mental health professionals with the tools and insights necessary to mitigate the impact of implicit biases in clinical practice.

This class meets meets the NEW MARYLAND Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice content requirement for Social Workers. It can also be used to fulfill the Implicit Bias requirement for MICHIGAN and MARYLAND licensees. Additionally it meets the DC “Key Public Health Priorities” training criteria for DC licensees.

Differentiating Trauma Modalities: A Comprehensive Exploration of Cognitive vs. Somatic Therapies, Neuroscience, and an Introduction to ART

This new training offers a comprehensive exploration of trauma therapy modalities, highlighting the key distinctions between cognitive and somatic approaches. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these distinct modalities engage different neurological processes to address trauma. Cognitive therapies, such as CBT, focus on reframing thoughts, while somatic approaches, like Somatic Experiencing, target trauma stored in the body. Through the lens of neuroscience, this session will provide participants with insights into the underlying mechanisms of these therapies and their differing impacts on trauma recovery.

Additionally, this presentation will introduce foundational concepts related to Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), including the role of memory reconsolidation and bilateral eye movements in trauma treatment. While attendees will not be trained to use these modalities, they will leave with a deeper understanding of how these techniques work to support trauma processing and healing.
