Today, Devereux formally launched its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion organizational transformation with a virtual workshop for all employees featuring @Lion’s Story Founder Dr. Howard Stevenson, a nationally recognized clinical psychologist and researcher on negotiating racial conflicts using racial literacy. During this event, Dr. Stevenson shared strategies to reduce, recast and resolve the stress of in-the-moment, face-to-face racial encounters.
At Devereux, we believe diversity, equity and inclusion is fundamental to providing the most compassionate and highest quality programs/services to the individuals in our care. We are deeply committed to racial justice and equity as an employer and as a healthcare provider, and we will continuously engage in anti-racist work across our organization and strive to dismantle systemic and structural racism – starting with ourselves.
We are excited to embark on this journey, united as a Devereux community by a shared commitment to social justice – and to building a better future.
