"Very easy to enroll, received reminders, and enjoyed the facilitator. The topic was very relevant. The discussions seemed friendly, yet professional. " - Danielle, LCSW
"This was a great review of the concepts of explicit and implicit bias and I particularly appreciate the care taken to separate those concepts from judgement about them. It moves into examination of implications for practice. It also has significant application for my personal exploration." - Straub, LCSW-R
"The different techniques to use specifically when one has a client who continues to believe that it is the circumstance and not their perception of it that dictates their feelings." - Loretta, LMSW
