OUR MISSION We are here to make a difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities by delivering compassionate, locally-based, integrated behavioral healthcare and human services. We believe that people possess the ability to grow and change and we are focused on providing high quality and responsive services in support of individual and collective goals. We believe quality care should be available to all who need it and we are outspoken and effective public policy advocates. We believe in the power of collaborative care and we work to form strong and effective partnerships with the people we serve, healthcare systems, educational institutions, and other public and private organizations. We believe that our workplace is vibrant because it is respectful, diverse, and encourages learning and innovation. Excellence is the guiding principle in everything we do.
