“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” — John Lennon

Whether a full spectrum of services are chosen through Hope or just one component, we view this as a partnership.

In order for a partnership to work, all parties must agree to certain aspects.  In the beginning of our relationship we ask what the person’s needs, wishes, desires and dreams are.  Hope then finds the mechanisms to make it happen with the resources that are available.  At the same time Hope’s beliefs, values, mission, vision and expectations, which are the driving force behind our service delivery, are shared.

The success of the partnership requires that both parties are aligned with Hope’s Beliefs, Values, Mission, Vision and Expectations and that we hold each other accountable if one or the other does not adhere to them. With any relationship, there can be challenging times.  We ask that all parties involved recognize and practice healthy conflict. This ensures that both sides of the partnership are allotted the same respect and dignity as the other.

The commitment to a partnership is very important, as Hope practices a “no-discharge” policy through which families and individuals have the security of knowing that when they select us for their supports, Hope will never require them to leave on an involuntary basis.  Through this practice we believe that families and individuals find the security that have often been missing in their lives.  In return we expect open and respectful communications and supports as we travel the journey together.
