The Diversity-Informed Tenets for Work with Infants, Children and Families (Tenets) are a set of strategies and tools for strengthening the commitment and capacity of professionals, organizations and systems to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into work with infants, children, and families. These set of ten guiding aspirational principles raise awareness of inequities and injustices embedded in our society by empowering individual practitioners, agencies and systems of care to identify and address the social justice issues intricately intertwined with all work with and on behalf of infants, children & families. Using these principles as our compass to guide our work, our vision is to operationalize the tenets in the IECMH policies and practices. | |
