Our Values
We are guided by our commitment to:
- Social Responsibility: A shared obligation to inform, educate and support our community in the understanding and prevention of mental illness, the reduction of stigma, and the promotion of mental health, and to broadly enhance respect and care for individuals experiencing mental illness.
- Social Justice: The right of all individuals to be treated equitably and fairly, to have freedom of choice, and to have their personal privacy respected.
- Social Inclusion: All individuals have a right to full participation in our society and to have access to the human necessities of a home, social connections, occupational pursuits, and necessary health care.
- Anti-Oppression: A commitment to identify, challenge, and change the values, structures and behaviours that perpetuate systemic racism and other forms of societal oppressions.
- Self-Determination: The rights of individuals to be involved in all decisions that affect them and to have the knowledge, experience, and opportunity to contribute significantly to the development of their service plans, the processes by which they are provided, and their objectives.
