Our Journey with DE&I...
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Child & Family Services
Child and Family Services Equity Commitment to Clients:
We commit to equity for every individual who needs our services of care and support.
Clients and their families will receive the best care and a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment from our team. Our interventions and strategies will honor and respect all clientele without regard to age, color, height, weight, disability or genetic information, race, ethnicity, language, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical or mental ability and development, partisan considerations, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status or any other characteristics that make our clients unique.
To make sure this promise is kept, the Child and Family Services Leadership Team has enforced a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy that is to be upheld by every employee. All employees are committed to listening to clients and their needs and providing exceptional care and overall experience.
“This stamp is a mark, showing a commitment to DE&I at our agency. We are on a journey… There is so much to learn when it comes to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We’ve taken a step forward on our journey and our partnership with SVSU leaders will keep us on the path as we learn.” -Jill Hogenson, President/CEO
