Our purpose is to end violence.

Our mission is to provide exceptional consultation, clinical services, program development and evaluation, curriculum development, training and clinical supervision based upon research relating to violence and sexual aggression.

Our vision for clients is a life free of violence and sexual harm in order to maximize human potential and happiness.

Our philosophy involves:

Achieving Our Mission:
All service provisions aim to meet our mission. This takes place through an absolute commitment to our values and vision.

Respect:
We base all interaction upon thoughtful consideration for basic human rights and dignity.

Diversity:
Respect for the diverse nature of families for whom services are provided is paramount.  Support is given without regard for gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, culture, and financial status.

Continuum of Care:
All services are designed and maintained to facilitate seamless transitions throughout full continuums of care.  Clinical assessment guides services within the least restrictive maintainable environment of care.

Individualized Treatment:
Treatment is provided based upon each youth’s and family’s individual strengths, needs, attributes of resilience, and protective factors.  Optimum service delivery is determined by initial and ongoing assessment of treatment goals throughout the entire therapeutic process.

 

Healing:
Healing is an ability to embrace and celebrate life through attention to physical, social, psychological and spiritual needs.  We base all service provision on the belief that youth and families can heal from pain that brought about a need for services.  Healing provides a basis for leading productive and fulfilling lives by managing pain in ways that do not cause harm to self or others. 

Relationship:
Healing occurs within the context of relationship.  When families are provided warm, nonjudgmental, genuine support and empathy, potential for successful outcomes are enhanced.

Hope:
Hope is central to the healing process.  Our intention is to instill hope throughout all services.  Service and safety plans are developed and maintained in accordance with the belief that youth and their families will make progress in their goals for healing.

Resilience:
We design and provide all services so that each participant can master tasks required for healing.  We believe in every child’s and family member’s ability to initiate service goals and collaborate in the design and maintenance of those goals.  By supporting their right to make decisions, we enhance their ability to take responsibility for their own healing.

Ecology:
Each youth and family involved in treatment is part of a larger community with established institutions and agencies designated to support and assist these youth as they move toward adulthood.  We provide all services in conjunction with this support.  Educating schools, juvenile courts, social service agencies, mental health providers, doctors, and other service providers for youth and families is an important step in achieving long-term successful treatment outcomes.

Successful Outcomes:
We base all services on extensive research.  Desired outcomes are established for all services and continual assessment guides progress towards such goals.  Resources for Resolving Violence, Inc. is responsible for providing highly effective services most suitable for meeting the unique needs of each family for whom services are provided.

Efficiency:
We design and deliver all services in the most cost-efficient manner possible. We achieve successful outcomes through efficient utilization of resources.

Quest for Excellence:
We continuously improve all services by evaluating effectiveness and efficiency.  Excellence is demonstrated by staff, determined by prevention of harmful behavior, and evaluated by youth and families with whom we work.
