Justice, equity, diversity, & inclusion Committee

Committee Mission Statement


The WMHCA JEDI committee takes an intersectional approach to anti-racism. We seek to dismantle systems of oppression and white supremacy ideologies that create barriers to mental health for all marginalized identities and disenfranchised communities. We believe all forms of injustice are interconnected and social justice is an essential aspect of wellness. This is an action-orientated value to uphold the human dignity of all as the heart of our work and include this perspective in all aspects of mental health counseling and the organization.

    The Justice Equity Diversity & Inclusion committee is an established committee of folks who have gone through extensive training and consultation to develop a strategic plan for WMHCA.  The meetings serve as a time to review tasks completed between meetings and to identify next steps.  We welcome visitors and feedback, however, due to the high amount of information we have to address in every meeting, we request the focus be on the items at hand.  Comments, concerns or feedback can also be sent directly to the Chair of the committee Bree Sutton M.A., LMHC Bree@wmhca.org

    *Please note that meetings are typically the first Wednesday of the month at 12:00 pm, however for August the meeting will be on August 20th due to scheduling conflicts.
