Cultivating Humility:
Dismantling Implicit Bias and Building Allies in Therapy

Dr. Sayida Peprah and Susan Lowe, LMFT

Unconscious associations of selective attributes can influence perceptions and unintentionally affect the therapeutic alliance. This interactive and self-reflective presentation is intended to increase cultural humility, broaden self-awareness of implicit bias, and provide tools to encourage understanding and empathy. The facilitators will provide guidelines to assist in mitigating implicit biases in mental health as a strategy to improve therapeutic relationships and quality of care.

At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
  1. Define and identify the impact of implicit bias in the therapeutic relationship
  2. Identify and use strategies for dismantling and/or reducing implicit bias

Sayida Peprah, PsyD is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and trained Birth Doula who specializes in multicultural psychology, trauma, suicide prevention, maternal mental health. She is also a trainer and consultant on topics of cultural humility, implicit bias, and trauma as they impact mental and maternal health. Dr. Peprah is the founder and Director of Training for the non-profit organization Diversity Uplifts, Inc.
