We believe that all human beings have inherent worth and dignity, the ability to develop a greater sense of self-realization throughout the lifespan, and the need to cultivate personal and community-based well-being.

We believe that each individual can make a difference, and because of that potential, each of us shares a responsibility to our clients, students, communities, culture, and society to work toward the betterment of human life.
