* Diversity is essentially another word for different, it recognises that people are different and unique in many ways such as, personal characteristics, background, culture, personality, race, disability, gender, religion, belief, sexual orientation and age. It means recognising and understanding individual’s differences and embracing them, to allow people feel more valued.

Diversity can be defined as ‘the state of being diverse’. Diversity literally means difference. Diversity recognises that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising

Diversity – In the literal sense the word ‘diversity’ means different. Through diversity we recognise the uniqueness of the individual and value these differences.

First is to clarify the objectives and goal of the meeting for the three residents. Ensure that all understand and are in agreement with the meeting objectives (Ducanis & Golin, 1978). Second is to review the roles, who will be timekeeper, recorder, and the facilitator. Decide at what intervals feedback on time will be given. Then, review and work the details of agenda, Suggested time frame would be approximately one (1) hour in length. A written agenda will be prepared by the LPN and sent to all participants. It will include time, place, date room and purpose of the meeting. Minutes should be sent out by the Team Assistant to all participants such as Director of Care, the client’s GPs, in one case the Psychiatrist and RPN, the facility’s Social Worker, the Music Therapist, the Activities Leader, the Rehab Assistants, Family members, and the Pastoral/Spiritual Care Coordinator within six days prior to conference meeting.

Is there a proper way to define diversity? Personally I define diversity by how everybody is unique in their own way. Rather it be by race, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, political beliefs, etc. It’s about giving everybody a chance, even if you don’t believe or agree with their values or beliefs. Looking past the differences, but recognizing and respecting them. Learning to understand others, even when you don’t see eye to eye. Just because you have a different view than another individual, doesn’t put them in the wrong. Talking about the differences can start a good conversation between two individuals. When conversing with other individuals you want to do so in a positive nurturing way. Don’t make them feel uncomfortable about the differences, because that just makes the situation difficult. Welcome them and don’t let them feel out of place.
