Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice

Diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice are central to how CHRIS 180 provides effective trauma-informed services and to how we show up in the workplace and in our communities. Our values are grounded in the truth that each person must be accepted for who they are, recognized for where they are in life, and treated with dignity and respect. We acknowledge the harmful effects of inequity, validate the experiences of our colleagues and those we serve, and we understand that trauma is individual, historical, and cultural — impacting people based on the context of their lives. We are committed to ensuring that everyone can heal and build the resiliency they need to thrive and we recognize the diverse talents and perspectives intrinsic to healing and self-actualization. As such, we strive to cultivate inclusive environments that enable each person to flourish.
