JEDI Mission Statement: The mission of the Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Committee is to champion a culture of fairness, equality, diversity, and inclusion within Farnham Family Services. Committed to dismantling barriers and cultivating an environment that values and respects every individual, regardless of background or identity, we strive to ensure that our workplace is welcoming, accessible, and representative of the diverse communities served. Hence, individuals will not face discrimination based on factors such as age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. This list is not exhaustive and serves as a sample of identifiers.

Committee Summary: At Farnham Family Services, the JEDI Committee is dedicated to fostering a culture where everyone, regardless of their background or identity, feels welcomed, heard, and supported. The mission is rooted in the imperative belief that, as an agency serving the diverse population of Oswego and surrounding counties, we must be inviting, receptive, and knowledgeable in our approach to individuals and their loved ones impacted by substance use disorder.

As an agency, we are committed to continuous growth in cultural humility, recognizing it as a life-long process of self-reflection and self-critique. This involves not only learning about cultures different from our own but also critically examining our beliefs and embracing our intersectional identities.

The quarterly JEDI committee meetings are dedicated to achieving the annual goals and objectives on the JEDI workplan while processing and implementing change in key areas:

Justice: Striving to dismantle barriers and create fair standards for those with marginalized identities.

Equity: Allocating resources to ensure that each individual has equal access to opportunities, thereby improving their quality of life.

Diversity: Celebrating the rich tapestry of hearts and minds within our staff, mirroring the diversity of those we serve.

Inclusion: Actively amplifying voices from various perspectives within our agency policies and patient care.

Through the JEDI Committee’s collective efforts, we aspire to be leaders representing the agency, fostering an environment of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, where every individual's unique journey is acknowledged, respected, and supported.
