Our Commitment to Equity
As a nationally recognized community trauma recovery center, we see the very real consequences that trauma has on the lives of people, including race-based trauma and gender discrimination. Our clinical work centers on creating opportunities for healthy connections, supporting the healing of individuals and families, and breaking cycles of trauma that hurt all of us.
Our work to build community resilience focuses on undoing damage of the past and present, thwarting systemic discrimination in all its forms. To do so, we will ensure inclusion of traditionally marginalized populations – including people of color, LGBTQ+ community members, immigrants, refugees and those who sit at the center or more than one “ism” - in the work.
Our team developed an equity roadmap in 2021 to guide our journey toward anti-racism and full inclusion, and regularly assess our progress. See the roadmap guiding our journey.
