Looking critically at how oppression occurs and is resisted between participants and clients.

Acknowledging the intrinsic worth of all individuals, whatever their background, preferences or situation.

-
Recognizing the signs and behaviors that are consistent with survivors of trauma and responding accordingly.
Supportive, Strengths Based and Solution Focused:

Acknowledging the strengths of individuals and their communities.
-
Utilizing personal strengths to find solutions to challenges participants face, instead of emphasizing limitations and weaknesses.
Self-Determination Oriented:
-
Having faith that each person knows which path towards recovery is most suitable for them and their needs and to see our role as supporting them in acknowledging and increasing that capacity.
Harm Reduction Informed:
-
Utilizing practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing health issues and the social and legal consequences associated with substance use.
