Equity Statement
Oregon Family Support Network is committed to fostering a culture of healing and understanding that embraces the complexity of human experiences. We recognize that every individual is shaped by a range of factors, including personal identity, background, ability, and lived experience. These unique perspectives enrich our work and relationships and ultimately strengthen our vision of serving all families across Oregon.
We understand that creating a truly welcoming and inclusive environment is an ongoing journey. This journey requires increasing our individual and collective awareness, fostering a culture of learning and unlearning, continually evaluating our practices, embracing vulnerability, and ensuring that our actions reflect the highest standards of integrity, inclusion, transparency, and accountability.
Oregon Family Support Network is committed to creating a space where all individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. We recognize that each person’s needs and experiences are unique, and we are dedicated to continuously learning and adapting our approach to better support families across Oregon. Through compassion, reflection, and collaboration, we strive to build an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and experience true well-being.
Individual Uniqueness
The full range of differences and similarities, visible and non-visible, that make each individual unique.
Fairness and Opportunity
Inclusive treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, with the explicit intention of identifying and eliminating barriers to foster equitable and equal outcomes.
Collaborative Environment
A space that actively appreciates, embraces, and harnesses varied perspectives and backgrounds to achieve meaningful and impactful results.
We act to reach our goals through Action, Culture, and Community.
Action | We create and ensure policies, practices, and programs that consider and seek to address societal inequities that disproportionately impact specific groups.
Culture | We strive toward equity and inclusive environments and practices, as well as positive engagement within family-serving systems, by uniting and elevating a diverse collective of staff and family voices. We cultivate a staff that reflects the community we serve and foster an inclusive culture where multiple perspectives are valued.
Community | We partner with families, organizations, and systems to build equitable relationships, strengthen community voice, and promote access to resources and opportunities for those most impacted by systemic inequities.
Each employee at Oregon Family Support Network has a responsibility to act in a manner that supports and advances our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We expect all employees to uphold this commitment and will not tolerate conduct that fails to meet these standards.
