Our Values and Beliefs
The Centre is committed to achieving a healthier community. This includes the physical, economic, social and mental health of all community members and is supported by strategic partnerships and collaborations and the following values and beliefs:

Respect and Dignity:

Staff, students and community members who participate in Centre activities and use the services will treat each other with respect and dignity.

Accessibility:

The Centre will work actively to reach out to those who have traditionally faced barriers to health care and community service through the delivery of flexible and diverse programs to ensure that they will feel comfortable and welcome.

Diversity:

The Centre values and respects the diversity of its staff and of the people who make up its community. Diversity refers to the different racial and cultural backgrounds, sex, sexual preference, and visible and invisible challenges.

Quality:

The Centre is committed to ensuring that clients receive high quality, comprehensive and holistic care from well-informed, well-qualified staff.

Participation:

Clients and community members have the right to be involved in defining needs, making decisions and taking action to affect their personal health and social situation. They should also be involved in decisions about the Centre's activities and programs.

Recognizing Strengths:

The Centre operates on the principle that staff, students and community members have many skills and strengths to offer to bring about personal and community change.

Shared Knowledge:

The Centre is committed to building and sharing knowledge inside the organization and in the community. Staff will provide clients with information to make decisions about their lives, and community members will share their knowledge with each other and staff at the Centre.

Accountability:

The staff and Board are accountable to the community for the actions and services of the Centre.

Health Promotion Through Social Change:
