Course Description:

This training will use the standards for cultural competence in social work practice, as established by NASW, as the framework for exploring implicit bias. The standards of Self-Awareness, Cross-Cultural Knowledge, Cross-Cultural Skills, Language and Communication and Leadership to Advance Cultural Competence will serve as anchors for this workshop. Self-awareness will include completing the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Cross-Cultural Knowledge and Skills will support service to diverse populations. Language and communication will be reviewed as a means of reducing barriers in accessing and in the delivery of health care/human services. Specific strategies to remedy the negative impact of bias on individual and system levels will also be identified.
