Self-identification Form

DIVERT Mental Health is committed to creating practices that promote the importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our strength as an organization is linked to diversity and inclusivity of our membership and this depends on our ability to know this information about our members.

There will be tailored or targeted opportunities to individuals with certain lived experiences, and we will use your data to invite you to these experiences (but you have the right to ask us to stop).
