What are “microaggressions” and how do they impact health equity? Microaggressions, or subtle acts of exclusion, are rooted in implicit bias and are more than just insults or insensitive comments. These everyday slights have a harmful cumulative effect. But you can make a difference! In this 2-hour workshop, you will learn how to examine your own perceptions, as well as what to do if you commit, experience or witness a microaggression. This training will feature small group discussion using breakout rooms.
