Our commitment to equity
NAMI Colorado Springs is actively building a community in which every employee, volunteer, member and person served — regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, national origin, education, disability, veteran status or other dimension of diversity — feels valued and respected. We are committed to expanding and deepening our reach by dismantling barriers to mental health support related to cost, cultural awareness, geographic location and stigma.
