Diversity and Inclusion

 

Better Days & Nights stands firmly against oppression, racism, inequality, and prejudice of any kind. We are committed to providing culturally sensitive counseling that respects and honors the unique life experience of our clients. We recognize that mental health concerns are often influenced by social environments that promote racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and many other forms of oppression. Our counselors have experience working with individuals of varying social identities and backgrounds and strive to continuously further their education about multicultural issues.



I am not this hair, I am not this skin, I am the soul that lives within.

~Rumi~


He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.

Unity in Diversity

Tastes differ, Views differ,
Voices differ, Features differ,
Persons differ, Thumb prints differ.
Races differ, Castes differ,

Creeds differ, Customs differ,
Manners differ, Dresses differ.
Looks differ, Languages differ
Songs differ, Speeches differ,

Trees differ, Plants differ,
Creepers differ, Creatures differ
Birds differ, Animals differ,
Worms differ, Insects differ.

The food of one man
Is another man's poison
For a well known reason.

In the world of creations,

Sans matching relations,
Why numerous manifestations?

The patterns are symmetrical,
While the shapes are geometrical,
But why differences are astronomical?

How there's an unity
In such a diversity
Of forms live in conformity?

To these questions the answers,
The Almighty, God only knows!
What a wonder, are His plays!

Rajaram Ramachandran
