Non-Discrimination Policy

It is the policy and commitment of the Florida Mental Health Coalition that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, color, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, or religion.

FMHC is committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity/health service and does not discriminate in the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment on account of race, age, color, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, or religion or otherwise as may be prohibited by federal and state law.

Any employee, board member, volunteer or client who believes that s/he or any other affiliate of FMHC has been discriminated against is strongly encouraged to report this concern promptly to the Chief Executive Office, President or Board of Directors.

Harassment or intimidation of a client, staff person or client because of that person’s race, age, color, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, or religion is specifically prohibited and may be grounds for termination. Harassment and intimidation include abusive, foul or threatening language or behavior.

FMCH is committed to maintaining an environment that is free of any such harassment and will not tolerate discrimination against staff members, volunteers or agency clients. Issues of discriminatory treatment, harassment, or intimidation on any of these bases should immediately be reported to the Chief Executive Officer, President or Board of Directors and if substantiated, prompt action will be taken.
