There are many ways that our experiences, attitudes, and implicit biases influence our behavior and how we interpret and approach individuals and situations. For those who provide services in a clinical setting, these implicit or unconscious biases can have an adverse effect on the delivery of quality care, despite the best of intentions. This seminar will help you learn to recognize your own biases, and reflect on how they may impact and impede your interactions with clients. Specific strategies will be presented to help you mitigate and combat implicit bias in your practice.

 At the conclusion of the program, participants should be able to:

• Explain how implicit bias may inadvertently inform and shape service delivery
• Enhance awareness through self-reflection, shared experiences, and exposure to assessment tools for implicit bias
• Develop strategies to mitigate implicit bias in the clinical setting
