Creating Healthy Communities by Exploring our Biases

Course overview

Human beings evaluate new information based on information obtained from their cultural norms, life experiences, and the resulting cognitive beliefs. These beliefs result in a "world view" that then impacts how we view, respond, and react to every experience. This training will explore the experience of bias and its purpose in our functioning, how to recognize our personal biases, and how to move beyond using critical thinking. Implications for clinical effectiveness will be incorporated throughout the training.
