Microaggression Bystander Intervention Training: LIFT

LIFT microaggression bystander intervention training was designed to prevent and mitigate microaggressions on an academic medical campus. LIFT is a workshop designed to give faculty the skills to identify and respond to microaggressions in the workplace. The workshop utilizes vignettes of actual microaggressions experienced by faculty, staff, and trainees to facilitate dialogue and build skills for responding. This workshop provides an easy framework for responding to microaggressions utilizing the acronym LIFT (Lights on, Impact vs. intent, Full stop, and Teach). The LIFT workshop creates a respectful space to educate all participants on identifying and responding to microaggressions in various situations.
