Description
Awareness of bias is only a starting point. This session moves beyond definitions into practice, using real-world case examples across clinical settings to examine how implicit bias and structural racism shape assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and client engagement. Participants will identify how bias can operate even in well-intentioned care, explore the systemic forces that reinforce disparities, and leave with concrete strategies for more equitable, self-reflective practice. Designed for mental health professionals across disciplines and practice settings.
