Recognizing and Responding to Microaggressions
September 17 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
This workshop will help orient organizational leaders and teams to the principles and objectives of transformative impact response. Participants will learn the fundamentals of first response after identity-related incidents, and begin exploring organizational value and goal alignment.
Adrienne will invite participants to engage in collective learning about commonly (and uncommonly) known terms, definitions and concepts to increase ability to recognize interactions, statements and behaviors that can impact clients, members, colleagues, those we serve, and overall organizational environment. Explore strategies for interrupting and responding to microaggressions and other identity-related interactions that can negatively impact the community climate and disrupt relationships.
Learning objectives
Workshop participants will:
1) Understand essential concepts in restorative bias impact response
2) Explore practices that support meaningful response to microaggressions (and other harmful identity-based interactions)
All sessions will be recorded and available for registered attendees to access, along with all session resources, for six months after the event.
