Badger Supports is dedicated to empowering students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison by fostering inclusive communities that support each individual's identity, mental health, and daily life. Badger Supports' commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is one of the cornerstones to our mission to cultivate an inclusive environment for students of diverse races, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, nationalities, citizenship statuses, socioeconomic backgrounds, and abilities.

Diversity also extends beyond traditional categories such as race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and ability, encompassing a broad array of dimensions including values, hobbies, interests, and personal backgrounds. We acknowledge that the diversity within our community is a vital asset that enriches our collective strength and enhances our capacity to support one another.

We recognize that access to mental health resources has historically been, and continues to be, unequal across various identities. Badger Supports remains open to all students, regardless of their identity, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are dedicated to ensuring equitable mental health opportunities for all members of the student body. To achieve this, we actively pursue partnerships with other student organizations and campus resources that share our commitment to diversity and inclusion in mental health advocacy. 

Badger Supports commits to the necessary education, conversations, self-reflection, and revisions that will reflect our ongoing process of continuing to foster an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming community. We will continue efforts to provide an affirming, safe source of support for students of all identities.

We will continue striving towards a just and equitable environment for all representatives of the University of Wisconsin-Madison student body.
