Microinterventions

The Microintervention Workshop

About

The Microinterventions Workshop is a dynamic and interactive training experience offered by SA Consulting. This workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools to effectively respond to everyday instances of bias, microaggressions, and systemic oppression. Through a combination of experiential learning, role-playing exercises, and group discussions, participants learn how to recognize and address bias in their personal and professional lives.

Led by experienced facilitators, The Microinterventions Workshop provides practical strategies for interrupting bias, fostering inclusivity, and promoting equity in diverse settings. Participants explore topics such as power dynamics, privilege, allyship, and cultural competence, gaining insights into their own identities and the impact of their actions on others. The workshop emphasizes the importance of empathy, active listening, and courageous dialogue in creating positive change.

By the end of the workshop, participants emerge with a deeper understanding of microinterventions and their role in creating a more inclusive and equitable society. Armed with newfound knowledge and skills, they are empowered to take proactive steps towards dismantling systems of oppression and fostering a culture of belonging and respect. The Microinterventions Workshop is ideal for organizations committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in their workplaces and communities.

The workshop is built on the principles of the Microintervention taxonomy and framework that was published by Sue, Alsaidi et al., 2019 in the American Psychologist. The training was developed by Sarah Alsaidi for her dissertation research, in which she implemented the training at several participating sites across NYC, and evaluated its efficacy through a pre and post longitudinal design.
