Navigating the VA’s DEI Rollback and The Real Cost to Veterans with Katee & Jackye
Welcome to another powerful episode of the Inclusive AF Podcast with Jackye Clayton and Katee Van Horn! 🎙️
In this episode, Jackye and Katee dive deep into the impact of the recent rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the Department of Veterans Affairs. Discover how these changes are affecting marginalized veterans and active duty personnel, the removal of critical healthcare services (like gender-affirming care), and the troubling implications on mental health and suicide rates among our nation’s heroes.
We also unpack what organizations can do right now to support team members affected by these changes—covering real, actionable strategies for HR teams and leaders, including mental health resources, employee assistance programs, and creative ways to foster community support inside and outside the workplace.
Plus, Jackye and Katee get candid about the emotional toll of these developments, the importance of taking care of each other, and how small, everyday acts of kindness and advocacy matter more than ever in times like these.
Whether you're an HR pro, a DEI advocate, or just someone who cares about inclusion, this episode offers tangible ideas and heartfelt guidance to help you make a difference.
