Principles of Care
Principles of Care
Strengths-Based
We honor the diversity, resiliency, and uniqueness of the children, youth, and families we serve, collaboratively drawing and building upon their individual interests, abilities, and skills. We work together to identify and build resources within themselves, their families and their communities.
Family-Centered
We actively engage and partner with people important in the lives of the children, youth, and families we serve. We ensure that families are active participants in the planning and delivery of services. We are committed to children and youth being connected to their families of origin whenever possible.
Best Practices
We utilize proven best practices that are sensitive to diverse cultures and communities. We regularly evaluate our methods for efficacy and relevance to achieve positive outcomes for the children, youth and families we serve.
Team-Based and Integrated Care
We are committed to providing an array of services based on the unique needs of children, youth, and families that embrace a team approach. We value the richness and diversity gained by the multiple perspectives of family members, program staff, and community partners.
Early Intervention and Prevention
We are committed to providing early intervention and prevention services that work toward strengthening families and communities to support resiliency, stability, independence, and growth.
