Description

We all have unconscious biases.

The problem isn’t that we have them…

..It’s that, unexamined, they can negatively impact our work.

Whether bias impacts an individual client as it erodes trust and rapport, or whether it perpetuates larger mental health disparities, the fallout hurts everyone. Including you.

That’s why we created this training with ethics and legal expert Dr. Kathryn Krase, JD, MSW, who has decades of experience working with thousands of clinicians to identify and respond to bias in their roles with clients and communities.

In this training you’ll also learn:

  • How Implicit bias can affect the authenticity and trustworthiness of clinicians
  • The latest ethical guidelines related to implicit bias
  • Hands-on techniques to challenge and overcome biases in your practice
  • Micro and macro level impacts of bias on the development of mental health care
  • And more!

By understanding and addressing implicit biases, mental health clinicians can enhance the quality of care they provide, reduce disparities in treatment outcomes, and contribute to a more equitable mental health system!
