Microaggressions or Microinequities are the “unintentional or
intentional slights, hurtful words, put downs and/or insults that trigger an
emotional response from the person to whom it is directed.” If left
unaddressed over a period of time, the impact (which are often invisible to
the naked eye), can be devastating to a person’s mental and physical health
with long-term consequences. In this four hour workshop, discover the
relationship between implicit or unconscious bias and microaggressions.
