Description
Merriam-Webster defines "ism" as an "an oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or belief." Perhaps, this is something you've personally experienced. Being the target of these isms can make you feel anxious, sad, angry, and defeated. They're oppressive, which is why it's important to be empowered and to effect change for yourself and others. In this course, we're going to talk about how to overcome these types of discrimination. Specifically, we will discuss the four steps to overcoming isms and what to do if what you are experiencing goes beyond what the four-step process can resolve.
