Event Details:

We know institutional and structural racism are barriers to achieving racial equity and equitable health outcomes for all. Implicit bias is a mental process that stimulates negative attitudes about people who are not members of one’s own “in group.”  Implicit racial bias leads to discrimination, stereotypes, and oppressive behaviors directed towards individuals who are not members of one’s racial group. Further creating and perpetuating racial inequity and injustice. This webinar will explore the relationships between implicit bias, racialized trauma, anti-racism, and anti-oppressive practices. Facilitators will share resources and strategies to sharpen our racial analysis and deepen our understanding of implicit bias, while also assisting in mitigating the impact of bias within systems of care, and more specifically in how we provide psychiatric rehabilitation services.
