A model for diversity training in human service agencies

Abstract

The need for diversity has been widely embraced in human services agencies. A variety of strategies are used to help make organizational diversity a reality. Largely missing from the literature, however, is a comprehensive model for diversity training in the human services. The author presents such a model, derived from interviews with 30 practitioners in and consultants for human service diversity. The model's core values, goals, and interventions, all of which are presented, reflect a synthesis of mainstream and social justice approaches to organizational diversity. (Journal abstract.)
