First webinar: Implicit Bias recording
Date: May 21, 2025
Host: Adam Holland, PhD; Implementation Specialist with The Impact Center at FPG
In this webinar, we discussed the neurological underpinnings of implicit bias so that participants can better understand what is happening in our brains that causes us to act the way we do. Then, we talked about different techniques for addressing this persistent issue, covering pros and cons of three approaches. Finally, we talked about how implicit bias might impact decisions in our own spaces, crafting unique solutions to participants’ unique challenges.
Second webinar: Cultural Humility recording
Date: June 11, 2025
Host: Mark Lapiz, MSW; Program Manager III, Department of Program Support Research & Evaluation (PSRE), at the County of Santa Clara Social Services Agency
In this webinar we defined cultural humility, how it serves in the creation of partnerships, and the role it plays in the implementation of programs designed to improve outcomes for communities. We also shared examples of how cultural humility influences system change and explored ways in which it can support your work.
Third webinar: Whole-System Wellness: Trauma-Informed Care for Practitioners and Programs
Date: June 18, 2025
Host: Kathy Lisborg, DSW, LCSW, University at Buffalo School of Social Work
In this webinar, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how trauma affects both individuals and organizations—and how it can create significant barriers to change. We’ll cover the foundational principles of trauma-informed care and explore practical strategies for applying these principles to foster healing. The session will conclude with a collaborative brainstorming exercise, where participants will generate concrete ideas and actionable examples to implement in their own work and communities.
