Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much

Evidence-based programs are programs that have been standardized, controlled and carefully evaluated.  These programs ensure that clients are receiving the best programming available.

"Trauma-informed care is a strengths based framework that is grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma, that emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both providers and survivors, and that creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.”

(Hopper, Bassuk, & Olivet, 2010)

Using a strengths based practice means having a collaborative process between the person supported by services and those supporting them, allowing them to work together to determine an outcome that draws on the person's strengths and assets.

Individualized planning for our clients means that they receive support in the areas that matter and are relevant to the areas in life that require focus and attention.

Having a diverse and inclusive agency aids in our overall perspective on client needs, programming, and overall well-being.

Our agency believes collaboration between other agencies, professionals, and support networks.  We know that in doing so we can increase the effectiveness of support we provide to our clients.
