Think You’re Unbiased? Think Again: Implicit Bias in Clinical Practice

Even the most well-intentioned clinicians carry unseen biases—and those blind spots can quietly shape clinical judgment, therapeutic relationships, and client outcomes.

Participants will leave with practical strategies to:

• Apply practical strategies to reduce the impact of bias in sessions
• Incorporate self-awareness techniques to support more equitable care
