Madrone Mental Health promotes diversity and inclusion as a cornerstone of our work. We recognize all types of diversity including race, size, ability, class, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship status, age, socio-economic status, and religion (among others). We acknowledge the impact of systemic racism on the well-being of our clients and community at large, and affirm that we can and must do better!

As a clinical team, we are committed to ongoing anti-oppression work in ourselves, our work, and our community. There is privilege and power connected to our position as clinicians and with that power, comes responsibility. We embody this responsibility through our commitment to reflexivity, or continued self-reflection, to ensure we maintain our anti-racist framework and engage in acts of resistance that mitigate the effects of oppressive practices. As eating disorder and trauma-informed clinicians, we acknowledge the racial origins of fatphobia and the adverse health outcomes attached to weight stigma and experiences of marginalization. Therefore, we strive to honor body diversity and remain proactive in maintaining a size-inclusive model of health.
