The dedication to inclusive content, practices, environment, and opportunities.
We believe addressing inequity is essential to improving public health. Therefore, we make every effort to ensure our trainings address issues such as power and privilege, bias, social determinants of health, and cultural humility.
We commit to questioning ourselves and each other, in the pursuit of greater awareness, understanding, and more equitable practices. We strive for individuals to feel valued and respected. We take responsibility and work to restore relationships if we cause harm.
We challenge ourselves to recognize and avoid bias – conscious or unconscious – in our interactions with each other, partners, and learners; our recruitment, hiring, and professional growth opportunities for staff; and our selection and contracting with subject matter experts.
