Back to the Self-Study Webinar Directory
Self-Study Webinar
New York State Association of Neuropsychology (NYSAN) presents a pre-recorded webinar with Gina C. Torino, Ph.D.
Summary
Over the last two decades, there has been mounting evidence that oppression and discrimination have become more subtle and nuanced in the form of microaggressions. Briefly, racial microaggressions have been defined as derogatory verbal, behavioral, and environmental slights, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional directed toward People of Color. Recent data suggests that the perception and experience of racial microaggressions can be detrimental to individuals. This presentation focuses on the manifestations of racial microaggressions in clinical practice and discusses intervention and prevention strategies.
