Diversity in Action: Smart Sitting's DEIC

We are thrilled to announce the establishment of the Smart Sitting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council (DEIC), a pivotal step in our commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for both our caregivers and families. At Smart Sitting, we believe in the power of diversity, and the DEIC is a testament to our dedication to creating a space where everyone feels valued, heard, and respected.

Purpose of the DEIC:

The primary purpose of the Smart Sitting DEIC is to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion within our community. We recognize that each family and caregiver is unique, and our goal is to ensure that Smart Sitting is a place where everyone can thrive regardless of their background, abilities, or identity. The DEIC will actively work towards creating policies, resources, and initiatives that promote inclusivity and equality.

Advocates for Every Voice:

To better serve our diverse community, the DEIC will be comprised of dedicated advocates who will focus on specific areas. We are excited to introduce our advocates:

  • Mental Health Advocate: A professional committed to supporting the mental well-being of our caregivers and families.

  • Disability Advocate: An advocate ensuring that our services and resources are accessible and accommodating for individuals of all abilities.

  • BIPOC Advocate: A champion for the rights and inclusion of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color within our community.

  • Gender and Sexuality Advocate: An advocate dedicated to fostering an environment that celebrates and respects all gender identities and sexual orientations.

Content Across Platforms:

In our commitment to transparency and education, the DEIC will actively share valuable content on our various social media platforms. From informative articles to inspiring stories, we aim to create a dialogue that fosters understanding, empathy, and unity.

Join us on this journey towards a more inclusive and equitable Smart Sitting community. Together, we can create an environment where every family and caregiver feels seen, heard, and valued.
