Ethics & Boundaries: Cognitive Bias, Our Internal Disguise
Emotions impact the decisions we make, including the ‘good,’ the ‘bad,’ and the ‘ugly’ influencers that rest in the deep areas of our mind: heuristics. We say we are not biased individuals but the reality; our underlying thoughts and emotions are based on preconceptions and lived experience. We will take a deep dive into the cognitive biases that are subconsciously impacting your decision making, your role as a helper, and may be blinding you from making the best decisions. We will explore how these biases affect your personal relationships, judgments regarding equity, diversity, and inclusion, and the day-to-day responses in working with others. Take a journey to provide light and clarity, removing the blindfold of bias.
Learning Objectives: 1. Gain an understanding of heuristics. 2. Explore and interpret personal cognitive biases that affect decision making. 3. Examine personal biases and the role of power to improve self-awareness in a helping role. 4. Develop and enhance interventions with clients from differing identities and cultures than oneself, through a critical-self bias review lens. 5. Recognize ethical dilemmas faced by bias and implement an ethical decision-making model to process and improve future social work practice.
Upon completion of this course attendees will earn 4 Category I Contact Hours, including 4 Ethics Hours.
