Our Approach

​

At Allies In Caring, we build collaborative relationships with people, service providers, and community partners.

​

With a sense of shared responsibility, we form a therapeutic alliance with our users. We nurture self-awareness and kindness. Together we explore in a non-judgmental way both: obstacles and potential.

​

We enhance people engagement in treatment and outcomes through;

​

• Paying attention to the goals that are important for the person.

• Honoring people's experiences and views.

• Drawing out resources and intrinsic motivation that already exist in the user.

• Affirming the people's capacity to choose whether or not to change in every situation.

• Identifying and reducing the barriers that get in the way of the pursuit of the user's goals.

•  

We respond and make sense of the complexity of needs of our multicultural people by applying culturally affirmative skills such as;

​

• Language accessibility; English, Spanish, and Sign Language.

• Knowledge of the specific effects of culture on the person.

• Use of culturally and developmentally appropriate treatment goals, process, and content.
