Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

This week's focus is on how DEI is essential in human services for understanding our own and others' perspectives and values. Engage in a conversation with your course community and respond to one of the following: Share an example within human services where DEI needs to be considered. (For example, if an organization's goal is to promote gender equity, then have the issues of transgender and nonbinary people been considered?) Describe a personal or professional experience where DEI was not considered and caused a negative impact. (For example, a domestic violence shelter was not prepared for a male victim who needed shelter.) As always, if you are relying on someone else's ideas when presenting yours, you should reference their paper, article, et cetera. This includes sharing references to your fellow students' ideas
