Culture and Belonging
Adult & Child Health strives to create an environment for staff and clients that welcomes, serves, and celebrates all.
Support various Culture and Belonging campaigns and initiatives at Adult & Child Health through our Bonfire apparel store. A portion of all proceeds will be donated back to A&C to support each group’s mission.
Culture and Belonging Commission
To affirm our commitment to culture and belonging, Adult & Child Health has implemented a Culture and Belonging Commission. This group of staff members was selected to collaborate with current culture and belonging focus groups and to give a more structured space to identify and incorporate new culture and belonging initiatives.
The Culture and Belonging Commission created Mission, Vision, and Values statements to direct their efforts within our agency.
Integrated Culture and Belonging Activities: The Beauty in Culture and Belonging.
Adult & Child has embedded culturally-focused activities into monthly Team Leader meetings. These activities are led by a member of the Culture and Belonging Commission and then taken back to individual teams and incorporated into staff development conversations.
Employee-Led Taskforces
Our task forces are voluntary employee-led teams that serve as resources for initiatives, program development, cultural celebration, idea implementation, and recruitment.
These teams bring agency-wide value in their efforts to enhance cultural sensitivity and awareness, in addition to supporting agency-related initiatives.
Agency staff are currently represented with LGBTQIA+ and Black Cultural Awareness task forces; however, leadership is continually looking to increase the number of resources for additional marginalized groups.
