Module 3

Objectives. After completing this module, participants should have begun developing the tools for effectively interacting with someone of a different race. These tools include, but are not limited to:

• Identifying common pitfalls when interacting with someone of a different race (e.g., potential benefits and limits of empathy in interracial interactions, the race skills gap).

• Strategies for preventing common pitfalls when interacting with racial outgroup members (e.g., mitigating use of racial stereotypes).

• Strategies for managing and confronting racial microaggressions and explicit racial discrimination in the moment and afterward (whether you are the one who has committed or has received the microaggressions).

• How to begin healing from racial trauma.
