The D&R Solutions is everything an organization needs to launch the Dignity & Respect Campaign internally. There are three toolkits, one for each phase of the > The D&R Journey. The contents for each toolkit, as well as the description of the 7 Competencies, are listed below. The Center for Inclusion at UPMC offers the toolkits to organizations at a minimal fee based on the number of employees. The proceeds support D&R for Youth which aligns with anti-bullying and positive behaviors in public schools (K-12) around the country.
