Webinar: Continuing the Dialogue About Race and Bias in Everyday Life

The Conversation Continues…

[blockquote]

This second session related to bias is aimed at giving participants the tools to not just start the conversation, but continue conversations about bias in everyday life situations. Complicated social problems do not become resolved overnight, or with a single media post or conversation. This 90 minute workshop will teach you to monitor your own bias, including your emotional  reaction to stressful situations. We will also explore ways to continue to become more and more aware of bias and how it impacts us and those around us, as well as ways to dialogue with others, including our kids.
