Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race & Ethnicity

This online course on implicit bias was developed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race & Ethnicity to aid practitioners in understanding and addressing racial bias in the US child protection system. The course introduces participants to insights about how our minds operate and helps them understand the origins of implicit associations. Participants will also uncover some of their own biases and learn strategies for addressing them. Each module is divided into a short series of lessons, many taking less than 10 minutes to complete.
