OJJDP will host "Recognizing and Combating Implicit Bias in the Juvenile Justice System: Educating Professionals Working With Youth" as part of OJJDP's Preventing Youth Hate Crimes & Identity-Based Bullying Initiative webinar series.

During the webinar, intended for youth justice professionals, presenters will:

• Help participants understand best practices to combat implicit and internal bias
• Help participants understand how bias can influence decision-making for youth in the juvenile justice system
• Explain how professionals can help youth who are in the juvenile justice system rectify, reduce, and mitigate their own internal bias when released from the juvenile justice system

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.
