About This Course
Physical and mental health professionals cannot ignore the impact that various forms of bias play in the barriers to and disparities experienced in the delivery of care. For instance, the concerns of women who present for treatment are more often ignored than those of men who present for treatment. The concerns of Black women, in particular, are ignored at their peril.
This course explains the role of implicit and explicit bias in defining the systems that provide physical and mental health care in America. It also includes strategies for individual professionals and professionals in collaboration to use in order to reduce disparities in access to and delivery of physical and mental health care services.
This training provides 3.0 CE credit hours accepted in 49+ states and fulfills the new Anti-Oppressive Social Work training requirement for Maryland Social Workers and course meets the "Implicit Bias Training" requirements outlined under Michigan State Public Health Code.
