Check out the upcoming DCR trainings we are offering.

(All are virtual.)

The New Jersey Division on Civil Rights (DCR) offers trainings aimed at
preventing and addressing harassment and discrimination through their
Education and Training Unit. These interactive sessions educate
participants about their rights and responsibilities under the New Jersey
Law Against Discrimination, the New Jersey Family Leave Act and the **new**
Fair Chance in Housing Act by raising awareness about current anti-bias
issues.
*NEW* Hair Discrimination and the NJ Law Against Discrimination

This training will focus on race discrimination based on hairstyle. It will
cover the history of this type of discrimination and the Division on Civil
Rights (DCR) investigation into a hairstyle-related incident at a high
school wrestling match. It will also cover a guidance document issued by
DCR explaining that race discrimination includes discrimination based on a
trait inextricably intertwined or closely associated with race, such as
hairstyle, and the CROWN Act, which codifies these protections into law in
NJ and in other states.

Understanding Implicit Bias

This interactive, virtual training will introduce participants to the
concept of implicit bias. Participants will consider how implicit bias
manifests in our interactions with others and explore strategies for
addressing implicit bias in ourselves and in the workplace. Participants
will also learn about how the NJ Law Against Discrimination protects
individuals from discrimination and bias-based harassment in the workplace.

Strategies for Effective Bystander Intervention

This interactive, virtual training explores the factors that inhibit and
encourage bystander intervention, especially in situations involving bias,
harassment and discrimination. Participants will investigate the cognitive
and psychological processes that influence whether and how people get
involved, and delve into strategies for intervening to support targets of
bias and in response to other problematic behavior. Participants will also
learn about the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and consider the
importance of bystander intervention within the context of civil rights law.

NJ Division on Civil Rights Fair Chance in Housing Act Webinar

Today, nearly one-third of the adult working age population in the U.S. has
a conviction record. Many of these people have been denied housing, though
most pose no threat to their communities. New Jersey’s Fair Chance in
Housing Act (FCHA) remedies this form of discrimination by establishing a
fair process for consideration of conviction histories during the
application process. Join us for this interactive webinar that will provide
an overview of FCHA, including effective implementation strategies and
model forms that can be utilized by housing providers. Participants will
also explore how conviction record screenings have disproportionately
impacted communities of color, and consider ways to create
discrimination-free housing environments.

The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination in the Workplace

DCR's "The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination in the Workplace" training
will help participants gain knowledge about employment rights and
obligations under New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination (LAD). We will
look at different types of discrimination claims, the protected

Understanding the Needs of LGBTQIA+ Youth

New Jersey has been at the forefront of fostering equality for its LGBTQIA+
young people, including strong protections in the NJ Law Against
Discrimination, incorporation of LGBTQIA+ content in school curricula, and
the extension of rights for transgender people. Yet LGBTQIA+ youth remain
at disproportionate risk for bullying, harassment, homelessness, suicide,
and involvement in the foster care and law enforcement systems. This
training will introduce participants to the varied identities and
experiences of LGBTQIA+ youth, explore the types of bias and discrimination
they face, and offer strategies for protecting their rights in various
settings.
