What are racial, gender, disability, sexual orientation and sexual identity microaggressions? How are they harmful to people of color, women and LGBT population? How do microaggressions impact behavioral health care, service providers, clients and their communities? Have I been guilty of committing microaggressions? What must I do to change the way I relate to different marginalized groups in our society? The most detrimental forms of microaggressions are usually delivered by well-intentioned individuals or service providers who are unaware that they have engaged in harmful conduct toward a socially marginalized group.
Derald Wing Sue, PhD will focus on the impact of microagressions, offer solutions of how to disarm them, preview recent research on microinterventions or the use of anti-bias strategies and tactics to disarm and overcome the expression of microaggressions.
