The PTTC Network's Building Health Equity & Social Justice Working Group developed this resource for prevention professionals. The overall goal is to incorporate anti-racist, bias-free, and inclusive terminology into the framework of prevention efforts. Diversity and inclusion in the prevention workforce is both ethical and imperative. Preventionists must not only be aware of the knowledge presented throughout this factsheet but be able to practically apply the information given.
As you create programs, information resources, collaborate with key partners, and develop presentations, look to integrate the information within this resource into your work. With the practical application of this terminology, prevention professionals can help guide their organizations towards a culture of inclusion as we work towards healthy equity.
