Developing Reflection Skills Program staff needs to be aware of their unconscious biases and prejudices so they can understand and inform the way they interact with youth. Reflection is a tool that helps an individual think about their actions, thoughts, and statements, and ultimately gain insight. |
| Understanding Bias and Values Everyone has had biases or been prejudiced at some time in their lives. Implicit or unconscious bias and prejudices are part of the unconscious decision-making part of the brain. Youth program staff need to understand themselves to overcome any unconscious biases that work against an open and welcoming youth program. |
