DEIB Assessment
NAATP’s DEIB Best Practices in Addiction Treatment Model and Assessment Tool
Our Assessment Tool was created in consultation with the NAATP DEIB Advisory Committee to help providers – both those just starting DEI work and those who are well on their way – to identify areas for growth, develop specific action steps, and gauge their progress.
NAATP has developed a webinar and blog that introduce this Tool and discuss its goals and utilization.
