Creating a Safe School and Community Environment for Youth, Part 2: Mitigating Microaggressions and Implicit Bias

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) will host “Creating a Safe School and Community Environment for Youth, Part 2: Mitigating Microaggressions and Implicit Bias” as part of OJJDP’s Preventing Youth Hate Crimes & Identity-Based Bullying Initiative webinar series.

During the webinar, intended for school communities, presenters will:

• Discuss how to create comprehensive anti-hate policies and programs that involve every part of the school community, from students and parents to teachers, staff, and administrators.
• Help participants understand how to build a school climate where hateful acts are not tolerated.
• Explain how to mitigate microaggressions and identify implicit bias.

The webinar series is supported by OJJDP's National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC). To obtain handouts and documents for this event, contact the OJJDP NTTAC Help Desk at ojjdptta@usdoj.gov or by phone at 1–833–647–0513.
