This tool is designed to help you institutionalize your DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) efforts, with a clear focus on our essential role in serving everyone. It is imperative that we foster a sense of belonging for all individuals, recognizing that true belonging allows people to be their authentic selves.

As Brené Brown wisely states, “Fitting in is a betrayal of self,” as it requires changing who you are to conform. In contrast, belonging means embracing your true identity. We invite you to use this self-assessment tool within your agency or organization to cultivate an environment where everyone feels valued and included.
