A Leader in Providing Trauma-Specialized Therapy
Vision:
Improved mental health through equity of access to trauma-specialized therapy.
Mission:
To make state-of-the-art attachment and trauma treatment more accessible to individuals and families who may not have the resources to otherwise access this.
Values:
ATTCH Niagara is an organization whose culture reflects the following five values in each contact, physical setting, relationship and activity in both the experiences of staff as well as those who receive services:
- Trauma-Specialized Treatment: We will demonstrate an organizational and administrative commitment to delivering trauma-specific treatment. We anticipate and respond to potential practices that may be perceived or experienced as re-traumatizing. Trauma-responsive and compassionate care is central to our treatment approach.
- Equity and Accessibility: We believe that all people have meaning, purpose and value, and should be given the opportunity to heal from past trauma experiences. We believe that trauma-specialized therapy should be accessible regardless of resources and free of bias.
- Self-Discovery: Our services focus on treating trauma, building compassionate self-awareness and developing post-traumatic growth for living beyond trauma responses.
- Empowerment: We will treat underlying trauma experiences, creating awareness, autonomy and a new understanding of trauma responses, leading to increased growth, resilience and authenticity. We will promote self-compassion and awareness for difficult emotions to be experienced in a safe structured way, resulting in the belief that healing and recovery are possible.
- Education: We will create trauma-responsive communities through trauma-informed and trauma-specific training.
