Parent Ed: How to Talk to Your Kids about Race

This workshop is designed to help parents unpack and uncover the ways in which they can approach the subject of race with their children and stay consistent with their own family values. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will come away with:

•an understanding of basic developmental awareness of children in regards to race
•a grasp of what implicit bias is and how it impacts our children
•support in thinking about HOW we want to engage with children about the topic of race
