About This Cause
OUR PHILOSOPHY Watari’s service is trauma-informed and based on an individual’s innate strengths, capabilities, and desire for wellness. We encourage an exploration and deeper understanding of self and community, so that people can make informed choices WATARI’S OBJECTIVES To provide opportunities to the people we support that allow them to see themselves as competent and capable. To deliver respectful, individualized service. To empower the people we support by encouraging relationships with service providers, family and community members. To work within a community development model to address personal and collective change. To provide trauma sensitive work environments for both staff and the people we support. STATEMENT OF DIVERSITY & INCLUSION Watari embraces diversity as an integral part of being a caring community. We are committed to building and maintaining a diverse, accessible, civil and supportive environment by including diversity of religion, gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, disability, age and socioeconomic class. To this end, we will make positive efforts to reach out to groups that have traditionally been under-represented and who can enrich and be enriched by their experience at Watari. At Watari we encourage behaviours that enhance the freedom and respect that every individual deserves. HISTORY Watari has been active in the Downtown Eastside and surrounding communities since 1989.
