Our Mission
Our Values
Human Connection
No person, community, or ecosystem exists in isolation. We need each other. And we need to learn from each other. We believe the mental and emotional wellbeing of individuals is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of our community. Providing free, accessibility, immediate, and consistent avenues for human connection is our path to wellbeing.
Integrity
To serve our mission, we hold ourselves and our services to high standards. We are committed to providing quality and timely attention to those in need. We honor our community by doing the next right thing, even when no one is looking.
Systemic Justice
Every member of our community deserves access to care and opportunity to reach their full potential. In service to our mission, with the help of those most affected, we identify and address barriers to access of quality services.
Active Hope
To build the community we deserve, we must see beyond current challenges and choose to take action. Believing in change is our commitment to creating a resilient community.
Grit
We do not see challenges and setbacks as barriers to change. We fail when we are unwilling to adapt. With creativity and innovations, we push forward with courage and resolution.
