    Google Translate Disclaimer

    The Maryland Department of Information Technology (“DoIT”) offers translations of the content through Google Translate. Because Google Translate is an external website, DoIT does not control the quality or accuracy of translated content. All DoIT content is filtered through Google Translate which may result in unexpected and unpredictable degradation of portions of text, images and the general appearance on translated pages. Google Translate may maintain unique privacy and use policies. These policies are not controlled by DoIT and are not associated with DoIT’s privacy and use policies. After selecting a translation option, users will be notified that they are leaving DoIT’s website. Users should consult the original English content on DoIT’s website if there are any questions about the translated content.

    DoIT uses Google Translate to provide language translations of its content. Google Translate is a free, automated service that relies on data and technology to provide its translations. The Google Translate feature is provided for informational purposes only. Translations cannot be guaranteed as exact or without the inclusion of incorrect or inappropriate language. Google Translate is a third-party service and site users will be leaving DoIT to utilize translated content. As such, DoIT does not guarantee and does not accept responsibility for, the accuracy, reliability, or performance of this service nor the limitations provided by this service, such as the inability to translate specific files like PDFs and graphics (e.g. .jpgs, .gifs, etc.).

    DoIT provides Google Translate as an online tool for its users, but DoIT does not directly endorse the website or imply that it is the only solution available to users. All site visitors may choose to use alternate tools for their translation needs. Any individuals or parties that use DoIT content in translated form, whether by Google Translate or by any other translation services, do so at their own risk. DoIT is not liable for any loss or damages arising out of, or issues related to, the use of or reliance on translated content. DoIT assumes no liability for any site visitor’s activities in connection with use of the Google Translate functionality or content.

    The Google Translate service is a means by which DoIT offers translations of content and is meant solely for the convenience of non-English speaking users of the website. The translated content is provided directly and dynamically by Google; DoIT has no direct control over the translated content as it appears using this tool. Therefore, in all contexts, the English content, as directly provided by DoIT is to be held authoritative.

    ​Toolkit for Home Visitors: Equity, Race and Cultural 

     
    The MIECHV Team along with many partners has created this toolkit of resources and support materials to keep equity in the forefront of our work. Although this resource is one small step, it is a necessary step towards understanding the scope of what we must contend with and does not exist within a vacuum. If we are to create a more equitable future and live out the mission of public health and human rights, we must dig in our heels and be ready to dedicate our lives to action and remaining accountable to communities we serve. It is our intent to provide you with resources and materials that can assist you in your work.  This ever changing document is not exhaustive, and we welcome additions as we are constantly adapting this document to best support us in our work. 
     
    The following links include resources from an array of experts, authors and disciplines focused on anti-racism, equity, and inclusion. We have organized them into categories to better help you find something specific you might be looking for. In many cases, we are linking to organizations who have curated their own lists of resources, so there may be some repetition. We are grateful to our many partners both local and national who have shared their work with us.  A special thank you to our University of Maryland partners: Dr. David Schultz, Elaina McWilliams, and Anika Aquino of the UMBC Home Visiting Training Center who shared many resources included in this document.
