Voice
Two important initiatives at RI International (RI) are the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Leadership Council and the Peer Leadership Council. Moving beyond nominal gestures of inclusion, RI has developed the means to give voice to the organization’s team members through these two unique councils. In 2018, RI elevated the presence of people with living experience of mental health and substance use challenges through the Peer Leadership Council. Then again, in 2020 in response to the killing of George Floyd, RI sought leadership from the diverse RI family to lead the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Leadership Council. Both councils work closely with RI teams and leadership to give voice to all members of the RI family
