It was helpful to have 4 different types of racism demonstrated and shown. Each of them were equally appalling

The video was very helpful in showing the ways racism can occur in everyday life and some ways that they can be addressed.

I think it is important that we are presented scenarios to see things from another's perspective. Nicely put together.

This course was helpful in reviewing how circumstances may affect numerous members of the team that may not always go recognized.

I agree that this training was very helpful. It helped me to personally feel more empowered to speak up for myself in similar situations.

Very powerful - liked being able to see the different ways one might handle different situations,  Especially as a bystander

Well put together to identify different perspectives and illuminate how we can all be active participants in a just environment for ourselves, patients, colleagues, and communities. 

Elaina Branco replied on

Very informative and beneficial training. 

Cristal Romero replied on

I thought the training was great and I appreciated the different scenarios. I think it might be nice to include resources for how to address these situations logistically within our own organization: steps to consult HR (email, brainswave, etc.), repurcussions for patients/staff who continue to exercise racism, how to get involved in our own equity/united against racism committee.
