Our Code of Ethics: 


  • honour the participants. 

  • accept them as they are and as unique, special individuals, 

  • remind them that there are "no-limits" to anyone's recovery. 

  • give them a sense hope. 

  • validate their experiences. 

  • treat them with dignity, compassion, respect and unconditional high regard. 

  • give each person choices and options, not final answers. 

  • support the concept that each person is the expert on themselves. 

  • In this work, participants learn through their own experience and the experience of others. 

This work is: 

  • based on self-determination - it opens the door for individuals, but doesn't dictate their path. 

  • rooted in the belief in equality - no one is any better or has higher value than anyone else. 

  • a mutual learning model, where both people work together to increase understanding and promote wellness. 

  • not necessarily a replacement for other kinds of therapy, but can complement any other therapy. 

  • adaptable to anyone's personal philosophy. 

  • simple and safe for anyone, regardless of the severity of their symptoms. 

  • based on common sense. 

  • infinitely do-able. 

  • always changing - the body of knowledge is always expanding and is infinite. 

  • not based on any philosophy or model, but can incorporate any philosophy or model. 

  • not only a program - it is a way of life. 

  • There is no room for big egos or "power trips," bigotry, prejudice or hatred. Everyone belongs at the table, no matter what their issues or where they are on their path. There are no predetermined outcomes. Each individual works at their own pace toward their own goals.


  • Do everything you can to ensure a safe, comfortable and respectful atmosphere for participants.
