Identifying and Addressing Implicit Bias in Child Welfare, Education and Healthcare

Nicole Klasey, Psy.D.

Training Description

Implicit bias is present in society as well as the social services field. It’s important that those who support system-involved youth understand implicit bias and the ways it shows up and impacts recommendations, outcomes, and the ability to build relationships with system-involved youth and young adults. This training will provide an overview of ways implicit bias is present in social services, how it impacts system-involved youth and young adults and what we can do to address implicit bias when it shows up.

Learning Objectives

· Participants will be able to identify at least 1 example of implicit bias in social services.

· Participants will be able to identify at least 1 way implicit bias impacts system-involved youth and young adults.
