Core Values
Respect and dignity
At the core of every meaningful relationship, we believe that respect, compassion, and kindness are of utmost importance. Giving these things to one another creates an environment where trust can develop, and true growth is possible. We strive for providing unconditional positive regard through our understanding, care and non-judgmental attitude towards each other.
Cultural Safety and Diversity
Cultural safety works towards creating an environment where people can find security in their identity - feeling safe without fear of judgement or discrimination while seeking the necessary support they need.
An important part of ensuring meaningful connections involves challenging traditional ideas about gender identities and expressions so no one gets left out or overwhelmed by an unfamiliar environment.
Trauma-Informed Care
We anchor our work in trauma-informed care. We understand that traumatic events can have a profound impact on individuals but believe recovery is possible. We adhere to core principles such as safety, trust, choice, and mutual respect for diversity within every interaction; together we are creating an environment where collaboration and empowerment drives positive outcomes from difficult experiences.
.Person-centred care
Person-centred care puts the individual front and centre, making sure they are supported to lead their own care while also considering each person's unique life experience. It prioritizes building on strengths rather than focusing on any potential limitations or disabilities.
Time
Our goal is for you to use this time in treatment effectively and attain tangible improvements and wellness now that will last long into the future.
Relationships
Healthy relationships are the cornerstone of lasting change, which is why we strive to cultivate a safe and supportive atmosphere for our clients. Our goal is to help them develop greater personal resilience and meaningful connections in their lives.
