Abstract
The need for diversity has been widely embraced in human services agencies. A variety of strategies are used to help make organizational diversity a r eality. Largely missing from the literature, however; is a comprehensive mo del for diversity training in the human services. The author presents such a model, derived from interview with 30 practitioners in and consultants hu man service diversity. The model's core values, goals, and interventions, a ll of which are presented, reflect a synthesis of mainstream and social jus tice approaches to organizational diversity.
