Values
- Love & Compassion
- Our values begin with the related ideas of love and compassion. Loving concern is at the heart of our connections with the children and families we seek to serve. Our compassion should never be pity or a detached recognition of another’s suffering and struggles. Instead, it must be an engaged, active participation in the efforts of our clients to master their troubling life experiences and to resume the tasks of healthy development. This loving concern begins with heartfelt curiosity, genuine interest in our clients’ lives and experiences, an appreciation of their strengths and resources, and a realistic acknowledgement of their vulnerabilities and the risk factors present in their environments.
