DEI Basics

Discover the meaning behind “DEI” as we delve into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as concepts and their ultimate outcome, Belonging. This workshop will explore DEI with a focus on supporting participants’ exploration of self-identity, social location, and intersectionality.

The day will wrap up with an introduction to implicit bias and micro-aggressions.
Join us to get started on your DEI journey and build cultural and anti-racism competencies.

This workshop is a pre-requisite for all other DEI sessions.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Basics and Implicit Bias sessions are now free! After careful consideration, we have made changes to our course offerings. We will no longer be charging registration fees for DEI Basics or Implicit Bias sessions, and the sessions will be free for all PHSA staff starting in 2024.

For accountability purposes, a cancellation fee of $75 (in-person sessions) and $50 (online sessions) will be charged through your department codes unless you cancel in writing to askdei@phsa.ca up to 48 business hours (two business days) before your session.
