Don’t miss out! Join us tomorrow, May 2nd, for a FREE 1-hour online webinar that Lisa Dion is doing with MasterWord.   This webinar aims to explore how trauma affects frontline workers and provides strategies to lessen its impact, drawing from disciplines like Interpersonal Neurobiology and Polyvagal Theory, ultimately enabling frontline workers to continue thriving in their crucial roles.   Join us as we address essential questions such as: ✨ What occurs when someone experiences primary or secondary trauma?  ✨ How does a frontline worker own traumatic experiences affect their ability to offer aid, and what are the implications for the individuals they assist?  ✨ How does someone handle their own unresolved trauma when triggered during the act of helping?   ✨ Participate in this educational journey and earn CEUs from NACCM (care managers), CCHI (Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters), NASW (social workers), CCMC (Commission for Case Manager Certification), IMIA (International Medical Interpreters Association), and BEI (Board for Evaluation of Interpreters).   Have you registered yet?

Understanding and Addressing Implicit Bias in Social Work with Dr. Marya Wright In this clip, Dr. Marya Wright discusses implicit bias and how it manifests in social work and child welfare. Marya explains how biases can shape our perceptions and actions unconsciously, often leading to negative outcomes. "Implicit bias is that unconscious belief or viewpoint on others, and it shows up more than people realize. Everybody's biased, everybody has a bias; it just depends on what are those biases, how do they show up, and do they manifest into a way of discriminating?" - Marya Wright Marya also shares her personal experience: "While I identify as a black woman, I was actually raised by my white family. It required a lot of work to understand what were those biases that were placed upon me and how they affected my perception of myself as a black woman." About Marya Wright Marya Wright, MSW DSW, is a distinguished social worker, consultant, educator, international trainer, and facilitator with expertise in organizational leadership, child welfare services, and curriculum development. As President and CEO of Wright Community Services LLC, she empowers system-involved families and provides consultation and training to agencies.
