Building Resilience and Cultural Humility by Recognizing and Addressing Stereotype Threat and Implicit Bias

We know trauma and toxic levels of stress affect the brain, body, and behavior.  Current research is demonstrating its influence on our genetic code through gene expression (epigenetics).  Research also demonstrates that toxic stress disproportionally affects individuals in marginalized groups through stereotype threat and implicit bias.  Join us as we explore resilience-based, trauma-responsive interventions that can be done even on the fly and have a positive impact in helping to develop cultural humility, resilience, and culture shifts by identifying and addressing the unseen messages we all live with driving implicit bias and stereotype threat.  

Bias is universal and ubiquitous.  When individuals and organizations begin the process of becoming more aware of the effects of bias, it can be challenging to navigate the conflicting feelings, beliefs, and ideas that emerge.  Informal conversations with colleagues can help build an understanding of the complexities of prejudice yet can lead to complications due to organizational culture, hierarchy, and relationships.  Beyond establishing or improving a commitment to diversity, bringing in a professional facilitator provides the much- needed opportunity to hold a microscope to an organization's culture; a magnifying glass into the true nuts and bolts of any company: the people.  This introductory training is an opportune way to best support participants in learning the language and skills to support ongoing culture shift and self- awareness.  This training will have a specific focus on how unlearning bias can better support communities.
