Diversity Equity and Inclusion Strategy

From school boards to extracurricular groups to social services providers to small and medium-sized businesses, we all need to be conscious of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) with both the team and those we serve. You also need to understand the child or the parent and caregiver’s perspective of raising a trans child, I am here to help. 

I start with a Gender Welcoming DEIB Assessment to understand how you currently work with gender-diverse youth and their families, we review your organization’s work culture, conduct one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders, and review your current policies.

Then I create a Customized Strategy based on the assessment findings. I will work closely with you to develop a tailored DEIB strategy. This strategy will include specific goals, actionable recommendations, and measurable outcomes. We consider your organizational values, culture, and aspirations to ensure the plan aligns with your unique needs and objectives.

Then I offer Staff Training.  Education is key to fostering a truly inclusive and equitable workplace. I provide targeted training programs to enhance DEIB awareness and build the knowledge and skills of your employees.

And finally, I Consult on Policy to help your organization move forward on your gender-affirming journey. Our work together doesn’t have to end with strategy development. I can help you as you implement the recommended changes. We will work together with your team to make sure the strategy is effectively executed. I also provide tools and resources to help you measure the impact of your DEIB initiatives.

According to Business Wire in March 2023:

• 48% of employed adults surveyed said they have helped a loved one live with a mental health challenge in the past year and 80% of caregivers say helping a loved one manage a mental health challenge has impacted their own mental health as a result
• 6-in-10 caregivers say that their work productivity has been impacted
• More than half of surveyed workers have not informed anyone at their company about their caregiving responsibilities
• Three-in-four caregivers wish their employer would offer more benefits focused on mental health

If your employees are caregivers of transgender youth dealing with gender dysphoria or discrimination, you must address their mental health.

Furthermore, according to a new study by The Workforce Institute at UKG which included 3,400 people across 10 countries, 69% of people said their managers had the greatest impact on their mental health, on par with the impact of their partner. And this was more than the impact of their doctor (51%) or therapist (41%). Are your organization’s managers up-to-date on how to affirm transgender families? Consider how much more time people spend with their co-workers compared to their therapists.
