Our model promotes increased self-sufficiency, self-worth, recovery, and the ability for those we serve to live independently within their communities. Our philosophy: we believe that people with mental illness thrive when they take increasing responsibility for themselves and become more productive in their communities. We believe that a welcoming home and social environment, coupled with a skilled and compassionate workforce that embraces the need for each service recipient to empower themselves through healing and recovery, is necessary for them to achieve their goals. We believe that our model of care reduces the need for more costly and confining intensive settings, while lessening the strain on the health care and legal systems.”
