In this episode we discuss the harm in biases and how they show up in stereotypes. How they seep into our everyday lives, and the shame and trauma that accompanies them. We hear from a Youth Shelter Care-Taker on how stereotypes and harmful biases affect youth. Learn how they occur, why they are harmful, and how unlearning stereotypes will help heal communities.
