Mission Statement
As a local leader and champion for mental health, we support the resilience and recovery/well-being of people living with mental illness through our social programs, our support services, and through the provision of information, resources, referrals and advocacy in a space that is inclusive, safe, and respectful. We strive to create an environment of hope, to reduce stigma, and to promote mental health for all. We believe there is no “we and they”. We are all on a mental health continuum.
About This Cause
Organizational Values Integrity: We value honesty, sincerity, truth and honoring our promises. Empathy: We believe in listening in a caring, open and non-judgmental manner. Equality: We believe in a mental health continuum where there is no "us" and "they". We believe everyone is deserving of respect and should be empowered as a citizen within our community. Diversity: We value diversity and individuality. We believe that the differing perspectives offered by race, religious belief, sexual orientation, age, and ability, all contribute to a richer society. Transparency: We are committed to being focused, accountable, and transparent in the effective and efficient use of our resources. Collaboration: We promote working together, cooperation, and reaching out to partners in order to provide a continuity of support and advocacy for mental health.
