Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2026; 9:00 am - 12:15 pm 
Presenter:  Gisele Ferretto, MSW, LCSW-C
Synopsis: This workshop focuses on the exploration of implicit bias and structural racism in the delivery of social work services. These common (unconscious and conscious) attitudes, prejudices, and stereotypes impact the delivery of services and contribute to disparities in care. Content will cover the following: implicit bias, structural racism, and their impact on child welfare decision-making, therapeutic outcomes, and agency practices, as well as strategies for identifying and addressing bias (implicit and structural) for anti-oppressive social work practice. The laws and licensing regulations that define implicit bias, structural racism, and the professional responsibilities for behavioral health, will be highlighted.
