At Rethink Mental Illness, we believe that our strength is in the diversity of our workforce. When our team reflects the wide range of experiences of the people we support, we can make more meaningful changes to the mental health system. And those changes are more impactful if we listen to the voices of both our staff and people with lived experience of mental illness.
We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, understood, and heard. This is at the heart of what we do, including our efforts in racial justice, creating safer workplaces for neurodiverse individuals and people with disabilities, and ensuring our LGBT colleagues feel comfortable and valued. We know that when our staff can bring their whole selves to work, it benefits everyone.
