This session will focus on recognizing, validating, and ultimately managing the display and impact of microaggressions
Objectives:
Consider and understand the impact of personal perceptions and individual lenses
Define and identify types of microaggressions
Develop strategies and resources to remedy instance of potential or perceived incivility
