Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. Define implicit bias.
2. Explain at least one strategy to assess implicit bias.
3. Describe at least three awareness-raising and prejudice-reduction exercises that can lead to the lessening of implicit bias

This program is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and graduate students. It will be presented at an intermediate level, meant for those with some prior knowledge of the subject matter.
