OUR VALUES
Anti-Racism
“Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, politics, practices, and attributes so that power is redistributed and shared equitably.”
-NAC International Perspectives: Women and Global Solidarity
Anti-Oppression
“ALLYSHIP denotes responsibility to educate self, engage in self-examination, offer support, and challenge dominant forces at play.”
-Avelling, 2013: Patton and Bondi, 2015
Trauma Informed Practice
“Trauma informed care is a strength-based framework that is grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma, that emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both providers and survivors, and that creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.”
-NAC International Perspectives: Women and Global Solidarity
