Building a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace

Equity, diversity and inclusivity are foundational values at CASA. As a provider of mental health services for children, youth and their families, we want to create a culturally safe environment that acknowledges, honours and respects the lived experience of every person and community. We believe that organizations can be powerful platforms for social change, and that we are responsible for a future that is more diverse, equitable and inclusive for all.

CASA understands that achieving this requires a diversity of thought, background and experience throughout our organization. We’re working hard to foster a culture where everyone feels welcome and can bring their true selves to work.

We aim to eliminate barriers faced by historically excluded groups including individuals experiencing mental illness, women, Indigenous Peoples, visible/racialized minorities, persons with disabilities and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

We strive to recruit, develop and retain talented individuals who represent the diversity of our society. We welcome applicants with various backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, and actively incorporate diversity, equity and inclusivity into our work. At CASA, we prioritize equitable and inclusive recruitment and employment practices, and actively strive to eliminate barriers.

We recognize that these efforts are essential for providing exceptional care and creating an outstanding workplace. Our goal is to foster a community where everyone feels they belong and can contribute to a supportive, inclusive and accountable culture that aligns with our values.

We nurture and support these efforts in many ways
