As a helping profession, when social workers have negative working relationships with clients it can be extraordinarily harmful as it can weaken rapport. If clients perceive their service providers as biased, there may be low usage and premature termination of services. Increasing workers' awareness and understanding can lead to changes in beliefs and behaviors. Working toward an environment that minimizes racial microaggressions helps families feel welcomed and get the services they need for success.
