Description
The course is designed to provide strategies for staff to shift program culture and climate to improve the participant experience. Staff will learn about social identity and be given tools to interrupt their biases. Through self-reflection, group dialogue, and scenario practice, staff will gain an understanding of the historical context for structural and systemic racism within TANF, REIB terminology, social identity frameworks, and intersections of staff and program participants. This course also includes optional supplemental components: 1) A pre-session video module on historical context for this work, and 2) follow-up dialogue sessions to dig deeper on personal applications with your peers.
