Social Justice Statement
The purpose of this statement is to guide internal decision making and overall conduct of Nuna Behavioral Healthcare (NBHC) staff, contractors, and policies. Inclusion, racial justice, equity, and anti-oppression are central to the purpose of NBHC in addition to our desired activities and presence in our community.
Background
We are dedicated to dismantling oppressive forces and promoting an ongoing process of healing and transformation within ourselves and our communities. This commitment is rooted in our belief that all members of our community have inherent worth and dignity. We stand firm, as a BIPOC organization, in our position as the global majority and acknowledge the harm dominant cultures have and continue to perpetuate against us.
Historical Context
We recognize that the profession of social work comes from the white lens and in many ways still upholds white supremacy values. We acknowledge harmful practices in the name of social work. As practitioners of social work (and members of marginalized groups ourselves) we acknowledge that healing requires social justice.
Values
Principles
Our principles define the standards that we hold for ourselves and our organization.
