Who are you? Who am I?
SESSION INFO
Wednesday, August 21, 2019
10:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Do you truly understand the obstacles probationers face based on gender, culture, and age differences and how those are affected by stereotypes? Probation and parole agencies routinely face these obstacles while supervising probationers and when working with individuals with various gender identities. Are you prepared to offer effective resources to probationers and co-workers to combat those obstacles? We must recognize that even within our own agencies--and involving our own colleagues--both implicit and explicit biases exist that can affect us in our own multicultural and multigenerational workforces. This workshop will discuss the difficulties that probationers and our colleagues face regarding diversity and breaking through and breaking down stereotypes. Included in this session will be a role-playing activity in which participants experience bias due to stereotyping, and we will demonstrate ways to find common ground despite differences.
