At Save the Michaels of the World, we recognize that celebrating diversity and inclusion is not only the right thing to do; it is what we want to do and must do for our organization, the people we serve, and the entire community. This commitment is woven into our values and beliefs that our organization is strongest when we embrace the full spectrum of humanity regardless of what we look like, where we come from, or who we love. That means both building a more diverse, more inclusive workplace and promoting what we call “courageous engagement” throughout our organization and the people we serve. Save the Michaels is proud to state that race, color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, age, and/or disability is nor ever has been a barrier to obtaining help. We’ve learned along the way that substance use disorders and mental health issues do not discriminate. We are all the same in that regard and should be treated compassionately as equals.
