- Passion for creating opportunities for people’s recovery, autonomy and empowerment.
- Acknowledgement of the rights of individuals to choice, respect and dignity in the recovery process and the importance of diversity and cultural identity, with a priority in the provision of recovery services for Maori and Pacific Island communities to address disparities in health outcomes.
- Unity in working together with other like-minded organisations, whanau and communities to provide the best possible services.
