Stance on Diversity
Alaska EFT aligns with the stance on diversity established by ICEEFT. The stance is as follows:
We aim to cultivate a climate of inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. In all facets of our work, we strive to embody what we hope to see in the world — a just, loving humanity and community in which people are free to be themselves fully — where people can embrace their most basic universal human attachment needs without fear of persecution or marginalization as a result of religious affiliation or non affiliation, race, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, class, mental health, physical character or ability.
These values are inherent in the attachment science and humanistic approach to intervention that all our work is based on. Specifically, humanistic approaches such as EFT are collaborative and respectful. We create a safe place for people and treat them as persons, not problems or types. Our approach is non-pathologizing in practice. Our values are inclusive and egalitarian while viewing human connection as sacred — something to be honored and cultivated. Our scientific and theoretical base outlines key universals, emotion and attachment while respecting individual differences.
