I don't think I have anything nice to say about my 3 years here. Diversity, inclusion, anti-racism was never a part of the business or clinical care model. I felt unsafe at work. My boss was extremely racist and people were too timid to approach and reprimand her. From micro-aggressions to blatantly messed up rhetoric, she was a toxic manager to add in general aside from her racist behavior. She quit of her own volition due to outside factors. No one I told did anything, and I was silenced. Staff of color have the shortest stint of employment, and new hires on their first day have confided to each other that they felt unsafe and minimized in the work environment. Others have been fired for speaking up for themselves when being held to different standards than their white peers. Even when staff of color are verbally attacked by clients or their families, they aren't turned away as clients due to their behaviors. While they say ED affect all people across the spectrum, we rarely saw clients of color, and we certainly didn't make them feel welcome from using the term "normal foods" to erasing any attempt to "diversify" the physical space. I could go on, but I won't. I do not recommend to any person of color to work here, and I don't recommend any outside professionals to send clients of color here.
