Aversive racism not only negatively impacts treatment of BIPOC clients but may also cause harm. Often, it is the implicit biases of practitioners lying beneath contemporary racism that these clients experience. In this recorded session, you will learn how implicit bias is harmful to BIPOC clients and explore the relationship between implicit bias, microaggressions, and contemporary racism. Participants will also explore the psychological costs of racial microaggressions on White perpetrators and bystanders. Finally, this session will provide strategies that serve to increase acknowledgement of implicit bias, expand self-awareness, and reduce the potential for discrimination when interacting with and treating BIPOC clients.
