Our Values

Cultural practices inform who we are, and who we choose to be. This might include choosing to continue practices from our cultures, or having experiences of stigma from our cultures.

Culturally Informed

Trauma Informed

We recognize the effects that intergenerational oppression has had on Black and Brown folx, on a community, familial and a personal level. We implement this knowledge into each of the services we offer.
