About A Gem of Joy and Our Mission to Our Community
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are essential components of our mission to provide high quality ABA services while spreading joy to families throughout Maryland. We understand that systemic inequalities and biases can create barriers to accessing services and achieving optimal outcomes for marginalized communities and are committed to taking action to address these issues.
We recognize that creating an inclusive and equitable organizational culture requires continuous learning, self-reflection, and a willingness to make necessary changes. To achieve our DEI goals, we will take the following steps:
- Conduct regular training on bias, cultural humility, and inclusive practices for all staff, including leadership.
- Develop and implement strategies to attract, retain, and promote diverse staff members at all levels of our organization.
- Collect and analyze data on the impact of our policies and practices on client outcomes, family satisfaction, and staff satisfaction.
- Collaborate with advocacy groups to identify and address healthcare disparities impacting marginalized communities.
We understand that achieving DEI requires a long-term commitment, and we are dedicated to integrating DEI principles into every aspect of our organization. We will continue to hold ourselves accountable for creating an inclusive and equitable environment for both our staff and the families that we serve.
