Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At Iowa Family Counseling,  we are committed to social justice and anti-racism. We recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion and are committed to providing mental health and wellness services that are accessible, free of stigma, affirming, inclusive and safe for all.

​

​

We strictly prohibit any form of discrimination of clients and employees based on race, age, disability, gender identity & expression, sexual orientation, status as a protected veteran, religion, and any other characteristic, including those protected by Iowa and Federal laws.

​

Any person who feels that they have been denied an employment opportunity, has had terms and conditions of employment adversely affected or has been subjected to discrimination because of the employee’s race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition should immediately report the matter to the attention of  Owner & Director, Elisa Lyons. An employee may also file a complaint with the Iowa Office of Civil Rights or the appropriate federal enforcement agency. (For sexual orientation or gender identity, protection is offered under the State of Iowa statute only.)
