Credo

We believe that human beings and human systems are interdependent economically, politically, socially, culturally and spiritually, and that their mutual effectiveness is grounded in fundamental principles which are reflected in the primary values that guide our practice.
Among those values are: respect for human dignity, integrity, and worth; freedom, choice, and responsibility; justice and fundamental human rights; compassion; authenticity, openness, and honesty; learning, growth, and empowerment; understanding and respecting differences; cooperation, collaboration, trust, diversity, and community; excellence, alignment, effectiveness, and efficiency; democracy, meaningful participation, and appropriate decision-making; and synergy, harmony, and peace; anything done out of love is important, however small it might appear.
Even in the simplicity of your ordinary work, in the monotonous details of each day, we have to find the secret, which is hidden from so many, of something great and new: Love.

We believe further that our effectiveness as a profession, over and above our effectiveness as individual professionals, requires a widely shared commitment to and behaviour in accordance with certain moral-ethical guidelines.
Responsibility to Self - acting with integrity and being true to ourselves; striving continually for self-knowledge and personal growth; Responsibility for Professional Development and Competence - developing and maintaining our individual competence and establishing cooperative relations with other professionals to expand our competence; practicing within the limits of our competence, culture, and experience in providing services and using techniques; Responsibility to Clients and Significant Others - serving the long-term well-being of our client systems and their stakeholders; conducting any professional activity, program or relationship in ways that are honest, responsible, and appropriately open; Social Responsibility – accepting responsibility for and acting with sensitivity to the fact that our recommendations and actions may alter the lives and well-being of people within our client systems and within the larger systems of which they are subsystems.
