Course Description

Training provided by: 

  • Calvin Martin, Director of Program Advocacy and Inclusion

Initially held as a webinar on September 28, 2018, this one-hour training covers the implicit biases everyone has and how we can identify those biases to lessen their influence on our decisions.

The different types of biases are explored as well as an analysis on how they may not be accurate. We are introduced to a three step system that will help us recognize our unconscious biases. 

This webinar offers important insight on how to overcome our implicit bias to more effectively assist the children. 


NOTE:   Guardian ad Litem staff and volunteers, the OPTIMA training topic for this course is "Cultural Diversity".
