Approaches
Embraces trauma-informed practice – we use a strengths-based framework grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma. We recognize the impact of trauma and the potential of healing for people who have experienced it. Our approach is based on safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.
Harm reduction philosophy – we embrace an approach that seeks to reduce the health and social harms associated with addiction and substance use, without necessarily requiring people to abstain. We recognize the inherent worth and dignity of all people, take a non-judgmental stance, respect diverse populations, the right to self-determination, advocate for social justice, and adopt a strengths perspective.
Advocacy – we provide support and advocacy to assist with removing barriers to wellness among marginalized clients and represent their causes.
Personal lived experience – we share personal experience and knowledge about the world gained through direct, first-hand experience and recovery.

Approaches
Embraces trauma-informed practice – we use a strengths-based framework grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma. We recognize the impact of trauma and the potential of healing for people who have experienced it. Our approach is based on safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.
Harm reduction philosophy – we embrace an approach that seeks to reduce the health and social harms associated with addiction and substance use, without necessarily requiring people to abstain. We recognize the inherent worth and dignity of all people, take a non-judgmental stance, respect diverse populations, the right to self-determination, advocate for social justice, and adopt a strengths perspective.
Advocacy – we provide support and advocacy to assist with removing barriers to wellness among marginalized clients and represent their causes.
Personal lived experience – we share personal experience and knowledge about the world gained through direct, first-hand experience and recovery.
