This workshop will provide an intensive introduction to microaggressions as they relate to social identities. The course will address common microaggressions related to race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status. Participants will learn how microaggressions are related to stereotypes, how microaggressions can manifest in clinical settings, and the negative impact on client engagement in services.

Through role-plays, participants will practice identifying, responding to, and challenging microaggressions.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Develop their understanding of how stereotypes can impact clinical practice, including assessment and diagnosis of clients
• Explain the connection between stereotypes and microaggressions
• Reflect on personal experiences of microaggressions
• Develop their ability to identify microaggressions
• Increase skills at responding to microaggressions in clinically appropriate ways
