Popis: ACRC recognizes that all children and adolescents are complex human beings, who may bring to their care with the residential treatment centers many forms of diversity, including diversity of sexual orientation (SO) and gender identity (GI). It is incumbent upon residential treatment centers to ensure that these diversity issues are treated with linguistic and cultural competence in all aspects of these client's treatment from admission through discharge planning. Crucial to delivering high-quality care requires focusing on the intentional creation of safe space, staff training, affirming policies and procedures, and increasing family acceptance.
