SPEAK Up 2 Disrupt! Disrupting Fragility to Create Opportunity
Presenter:
Sara Rex provides insight into the role of disruption as it relates to intrinsic fragility based on implicit bias. During this session, she shares how fragility impacts one’s response to and engagement with “otherness” and how the unconscious implications of fragility affect communications, classrooms, communities, corporations, and clinical practice. Participants will explore the SEEDS and SCARF models as tools to disrupt inherent fragility; to address and minimize the use of protective microaggressions; to cultivate meaningful conversations; to mitigate conflict; and to create intentional opportunities beneficial to advancing and sustaining personal and community growth in cultural competence.
