We are committed to <br />helping new staff as they are onboarded to get connected to training opportunities as <br />they are offered in the communities, we serve to understand equity and inclusion <br />expectations of the agency’s policies and our work. In our onboarding process with <br />new staff and even Board members the agency clearly teaches our expectations of <br />non-discrimination policies. The agency is committed to helping to eliminate racism <br />as we understand it as a form of trauma in family systems and harm to children and <br />their need to grow up in healthy environments. The biggest challenge the agency still <br />faces in our quest to provide these well-rounded goals of programming to include this <br />needed area is funding. The agency continues to look for funds to help budget line <br />items that allow us to help families with concrete support needed to address systemic <br />barriers. The agency chooses to enter the experiences of program participants to help <br />provide them with not only psychological support towards empowering the individual <br />but also concrete assistance to help clients gain access to needed resources to <br />achieve equity. <br />29764 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: A5B4FFD3-9664-4EA0-9937-6709C85D11FD
