About the session
In this two-part series, participants will learn to recognize implicit bias and how unintended biases affect attitudes, understanding, and decision making. In Part 1, data will be presented demonstrating racial disparities in the child welfare, juvenile justice, and educational systems. In Part 2, participants will learn best practices for addressing individual bias, be introduced to skills for neutralizing the impact of implicit bias on decision making and learn how to apply a racial lens to policies and practices to remove the potential for bias. Attendance at both sessions is required in order to receive a training certificate.
Presenter: Edward Palmer (National Coalition for Juvenile Justice, Chair; State Interagency Council's Standing Committee on Racial and Ethnic Disparity, Chair; Sign of the Dove Church, Senior Pastor)
