Description:
This 6-part online professional development workshop series will be centred upon the importance of recognising unconscious biases in the therapeutic space (and beyond). This workshop series seeks to equip delegates with practical tools for supporting fellow practitioners and participants with diverse lived experiences through approaches to anti-oppressive practice. A reframing perspective will also be offered to recognise the potential strength of appropriately drawing upon challenging life experiences to authentically support clinical delivery and systemic decision making. Delegates will be encouraged to engage in practical learning in this workshop through discussion, musicking and visual art expression. The key concepts explored in this workshop include the impact of intersectionality, unconscious biases, oppression, privilege, and considerations for authentic allyship. Delegates will also be encouraged to more deeply consider their important role in advocacy within their various systemic positions.

Workshop Objectives:
1. Delegates will engage with multi-media (e.g. research papers, personal experiences and popular culture) to develop a holistic understanding of the impact of racialised biases in the therapeutic space
2. Delegates will gain a broader understanding of the unique challenges faced by People of Colour both within and beyond the therapeutic context
3. Delegates will engage in reflexive practice (arts-based and verbal) to reflect upon the unconscious biases that exist within them
4. Delegates will actively commence the learning/unlearning process of managing their biases in the therapeutic space
5. Delegates will develop practical tools for supporting fellow practitioners and participants with diverse lived experiences through approaches to anti-oppressive practice
