We all have the right to physical and interpersonal safety. |
 |
We all have value because we exist and not because of our
behavior. (Behavior may be despicable but people are not.) |
 |
Cooperation, not competition, is needed for mutual benefit
in times of crisis. |
 |
We all deserve to be treated with respect. |
 |
We all deserve to get our needs met but not at the expense
of other people. |
 |
We all deserve to be taken seriously. |
 |
No one has the right to judge the worth of another person. |
 |
Learning is most beneficial in a safe, supportive environment. |
These notions are the bedrock of the program. Without them
the program cannot meet the goals of safety for those served
and those who serve. |
