While there's lots of talk about bias, little to nothing has been done to develop skills to actually challenge it and its impact on inequities-until now. With new concepts created from the fields of cultural competence and unconscious bias, this session will provide an understanding of the three functions and three types of unconscious Filters, straightforward strategies to interrupt them, and long-term development processes for both individuals and organizations to create greater equity.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe how unconscious Filters create thoughts and actions.
  • Identify the three functions of Filters.
  • Apply straightforward strategies to identify and interrupt unconcious Filters.
  • Describe the long-term development process necessary for individuals and organizations to create greater equity.
