Social psychology has provided abundant research findings on the prevalence of unconscious bias and tools for reducing biases, such as counter-stereotypical imaging, perspective-taking, individuation, and increasing opportunities for connection. This workshop summarizes the research and suggests techniques for applying it in the setting of Collaborative cases and professional practice generally.

Presenters: Brian Galbraith, Elizabeth Thayer, & Members of the Access to Collaborative Committee

Want to jump start or revive an Access Program? Through identification of your WHY, this workshop expands upon general introduction to Access to Collaboration. We will cover the most important elements as they pertain to program development. We will break the process down into five phases (1) Finding Your Why, (2) Building Infrastructure, (3) Pathway for Clients, (4) Program Evaluation, (5) Maintaining your Program. In this highly interactive workshop, participants will develop a relationship with an Access Committee mentor who has expertise starting and maintaining an Access program for ongoing support, troubleshooting, and program management. The most successful programs consider the unique characteristics of its community and its professionals, and the goals your practice group sets for its Access program. The workshop is based on programs throughout the IACP Community with varying models. Participants leave with tools they can use and modify based on their unique programming needs.

Date & Time: Sat - 2:00pm to 5:00 pm

Presenters: Julia McAninch & Selina-jane Trigg

Together, let’s explore how this concept may apply to Collaborative Professionals and strategies to address it.

Date & Time: Sun - 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM

Presenters: Zanita Zacks-Gabriel, Josh Kershenbaum,
Rebecca Fischer 

Participants will learn about the complex issues confronting divorcing parents of children and adults with special needs and how to help these families navigate them using the Collaborative process.
