Class Description:

Training Summary: Provide a couple sentences summary (content themes/training techniques, and how this training is relevant to working with children who live in out of home care)


This training welcomes participants to define, identify, and discuss microaggressions and how they can impact the overall well-being of people who are at the receiving end of them, especially within therapeutic relationships. As microaggressions are defined as “hidden messages” that “target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership” (Sue, 2010), it is crucial for them to be uncovered in order to interrupt the perpetuation of negative impact they have on those targeted. Participants will learn how to recognize and work through the process of interrupting microaggressions in order to support the establishment of culturally sensitive and emotionally safe relationships in their direct care with youth and families.  

 

 

Class Objectives: (what knowledge, ideas or skills will participants explore, learn, practice, etc during the training) Provide at least 3 class objectives.
Participants will be able to identify and define microaggressions and how they impact others who experience them.

 

Participants will be able to distinguish the impact of microaggressions versus the intent of those displaying them.  

 

Participants will obtain and practice strategies on addressing, responding to and interrupting microaggressions as a target or as a witness to them, with a focus on professional relationships with youth and families.  

 

How can participants utilize their new skills and knowledge after the training to reinforce their learning? (provide at least 2 transfer of learning strategies)

 

1. Participants will be able to identify when and how the type of microaggression is occurring in order to address and redirect the harmful language with others who are a part of the experience.? 

2. Participants will be able to facilitate conversations with youth to help empower them to define, address and challenge microaggressions that they may be subjected to or engaged in
