pursuing justice
Our trauma-informed care recognizes the impacts of marginalization and leads us to pursue true justice for our clients and communities.
justice looks like
equity
means fair access to opportunity & advancement. Equity recognizes that advantages and barriers exist and that as a result, people have different needs
belonging
is an outcome based on diversity, equity, and ensuring that we, our policies, and our programs are truly inviting to all
social justice
is compassionate care that improves systems and guides access to equity, opportunity, and fair treatment
diversity
is the presence of differences related but not limited to gender, race, religion, education, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and disability
advancing equity
Cathedral Home is committed to advancing equity and justice for our clients and communities (and beyond). To best provide trauma-sensitive care, we recognize the negative impacts of racial trauma and marginalization and advocate for change. Through active social justice groups for staff and clients; Cathedral Home is highly aware of and continually working to build equity of care and life.
We take action by ensuring an equity focus in:
provision of services to youth and families
education and mentorship of youth
recruitment, retention, and employment practices
collaboration with stakeholders
By intentionally expanding our awareness of traumatic lived experiences like racism, inequity, and injustice, we provide more compassionate, client-centered care.
