Understanding our implicit and unconscious biases is only the first step towards effectuating change in both our personal and professional lives. This training will explore what implicit bias is (and is not) and how it impacts us both personally and within our institutions and systems. With this awareness and knowledge, we will then learn very specific techniques and practical skills that will both assist us and challenge us to provide a more culturally sensitive, bias-aware mediation process. The skills are easily transferable to other processes and will apply to advocates, judges, facilitators and anyone involved with conflict resolution.
