Diversity

Raising consciousness, increasing knowledge, and building skills to address intersecting forms of oppression at all levels, from the personal through the systemic, and engaging in critical self-reflection

Effectiveness

Accomplishing goals with and through others, valuing assessment, reflection and critique as tools for improvement, and adapting to changing needs and expectations

Safe and Supportive Environment
Providing a refuge where individuals are believed, cared for, and empowered; seeking to understand the perspectives and experiences of others within a non-judgmental framework
