Certain fundamental shared values are at the heart of our mission. They unite us and provide inspiration for the organization's goals and objectives.

Social Justice: We believe that social justice includes a commitment to a basic sense of fairness, a respect for differences among people, and that every human being deserves an equal opportunity in life.

Individual and Collective Responsibility: We believe that both individuals and society as a whole share in the tasks of eliminating causes of mental health concerns, supporting individuals who need and want support, and informing the public.

Access to Appropriate and Adequate Resources:We believe that individuals require friendships and other natural supports. When formal supports are needed, individuals should have a right to choose the least intrusive option from the services and supports related to their needs and desires.

Self Determination:  We respect differences among individuals and the right of every individual and community to make choices and decisions based on unique individual beliefs and community norms. Basic to this right of self-determination is the need of individuals to be involved and direct decisions that affect their lives.

Community integration: Community integration of all individuals is an essential prerequisite to the development of healthy communities. We are committed to removing the barriers that prevent individuals, especially those with mental health concerns, from fully participating in the life of the community .

Integrity: We believe that our day-to-day work must be true to our shared values and beliefs, and dedicated to promoting public trust and a sense of confidence within the organization.

Partnership: Partnership is dependent upon shared values and the cooperative efforts of all those working towards a responsive and accessible mental health system. One important partnership includes individuals supported, families, service providers and the community. We are committed to sharing, and view participation and partnership as essential to realizing our goals and objectives.

Excellence: We are committed to developing and maintaining the highest possible standards of management and operation to ensure that programs and services meet the needs and expectations of the community.

Accountability: As a publicly funded charitable organization we are committed to using our funds as efficiently and effectively as possible, and to being open to the highest standards of public scrutiny.

Creativity: As an organization we must encourage innovative ideas and new ways of doing things that are responsive to changing attitudes and needs in the community.

Recovery : We believe that the recovery principles identifying a personal journey of hope, defined by the individual, are the most effective foundation for supports to create optimal health and quality of life.
