We believe healing happens in relationships.
- We will meet people where they are and listen for the untold story.
- We believe everyone has something to give and we are grateful for what we receive.
- We believe in the mutuality of relationships and we recognize the dignity and worth of each person.
- We recognize the opportunities we have for connection--both in our home as well as in our community. We believe in hope and that recovery is possible for everyone.
- We recognize all individuals have strengths and find different pathways to recovery. We will make space for individuals to find their own way to wellness and provide support with education, information, connections, and resources.
- We foster an environment that supports renewal and growth.
- We all have an opportunity to give back through using our strengths and lived experience. We believe in respect for self and others.
- We won't judge anyone's pain or experience as more or less than our own and will speak and listen with compassion for ourselves and others.
- We have the ability to set our own boundaries and limits and will respect the boundaries and limits of others, including privacy and confidentiality.
- We will honor our differences in beliefs, values, culture, and use respectful and person-first language.
- When conflict arises, we will address it with one another through non-violent conflict resolution. We believe in creating a space that is welcoming and healing.
- Our home will be a peaceful and healing space that is accessible to all.
- We will hold a space that honors the values of trauma-informed peer support including the absence of alcohol or illegal drugs, awareness of physical and emotional safety, and being conscious of verbal/body language.

Today, we honor Juneteenth—a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States and honoring the strength and contributions of Black communities.

We also specifically recognize the ongoing disparities in access to mental health care and are committed to working toward a future where everyone has access to relevant mental health services and supports. ♥️💚💛
