Our Guiding Principles
Everyone has value
We believe that everyone has value. We especially welcome those individuals other organizations are unable to help – persons with multiple diagnoses, a history of treatment failures and a total inability to pay for services.
Individualized services
Our services are outcome-focused, individualized and designed to build on the strengths of the whole person.
Personal dignity
We recognize that we can best honor the dignity of all individuals by helping them to make their own choices as they seek independence, wellness, and a better quality of life.
Exemplary training & development
The strength of our services relies on the talents and expertise of our staff. We provide exemplary staff training and professional development opportunities, understanding that ongoing learning is essential to quality improvement.
An affirmative work environment
Our organization’s leadership makes use of a participatory management style that includes input from staff throughout the agency and fosters an affirmative work environment, where open communication, honesty, professionalism, teamwork, and integrity are key.
Community partnerships
We work in close partnership with the individuals and families we serve. Our commitment to working in partnership extends to our neighbors, affiliated organizations, our funding sources, and the larger community.
Fiscal responsibility
We operate all of our programs in a fiscally responsible manner. This practice guarantees the financial health and stability of our organization and ensures that client services will be maintained at a highly professional level.
