MI Focused on Prejudice Reduction
As helpers, we may understand the concept of trauma-informed care, but what does it truly look like in practice? In this training, we invite participants to examine how systems of oppression intersect with individual experiences of trauma. By meeting those we serve empathetically, not just at the personal level, but also through a macro lens, helpers will deepen their capacity to show up for those they serve in more meaningful and effective ways. This session encourages helpers to reflect on how they can become even more compassionate by understanding the full context of a person’s life and recognizing both the harm and the resilience shaped by broader social forces.
This workshop invites participants to explore how adopting an approach rooted in prejudice reduction, marked by empathy, respect, acceptance, and collaboration, can strengthen their relationships with clients and foster better life outcomes. Participants will engage in learning how to honor the diverse experiences, values, and perspectives of those they serve, recognizing the strengths inherent in every individual.
