DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)

Critical consciousness as a value reflects the clinic’s striving to recognize and analyze systems of inequality, and commitment to take action against these systems. Employees of the clinic strive to break the cycle of the oppressive status quo by attending to context and intersections of the client’s lived experience, by being non-defensive in response to feedback about clinician privilege and microaggressions in clinical and administrative practices, and by exhibiting a willingness to seek betterment through constant evolution and change as an organization.
