ILI'S VALUES & GUIDING PRINCIPLES1. We believe that the people we support are like us. All citizens of our community have value and worth.
2. We do all we can to assure that people will have lives at least as good as ours, including love and intimacy. 3. We recognize and support the uniqueness of each person and walk with that person on his/her chosen path. Community is made stronger through the contributions of its diverse citizenry. 4. We rely on each other with a mutual respect for our gifts and differences, striving to be a family. Mutual and freely given relationships give meaning to our lives. 5. We are listening family able to hear more than what is said and able to speak with, not over people. 6. We realize that as an agency we must be advocates on behalf of those persons who ask for our support. 7. We believe the gifts and contributions of staff are best realized through our network of self-directed teams. 8. We realize we must build partnerships and coalitions that support interdependence on all levels: supported individuals, team-mates, management, agency and community of relationships to facilitate full community inclusion and interdependence for the individuals we support. |
