Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee

Goal Statement: To guide, support, and hold CT-AIMH accountable in the integration of cultural humility, diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence in all aspects of its mission. To actively model our commitment to the Central Principle of Diversity-Informed Practice as outlined in the Diversity Informed Tenets of Work with Infants, Children, and Families.

To actively promote cultural humility in the work of the committee and throughout CT-AIMH. Cultural humility reflects an ongoing personal and collective commitment to learn and take action to address and diffuse power imbalance and promote interpersonal sensitivity and safety. Cultural humility requires an attitude of openness and empathy and relies on learning from differences.

This committee meets the 2nd Thursday of the month from 9-10:30am.

Co-Chair:  Carlita Elias and Melissa Mendez
