	*Professionalism:*		We are a professional staff that practices respectful interactions, shared decision making, and continuous collaboration.

	*Safe and Secure Environment:*		We provide an environment that is physically and emotionally safe and secure, one that fosters self-expression, respects individuality, and accepts diversity.
