The Thrive Difference
Thrive’s Board, leadership team, and staff embody 18-Guiding Principles that shape the culture of the organization.
We believe growth and change occur best in an environment of dignity and respect. In respecting ourselves and others we understand that personal responsibility is an essential ingredient in having the freedom to change and grow.
We are committed to enlivening the process by which individuals, families and communities develop the skills and attitudes necessary to turn life experiences into opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth. We recognize that respectful supportive relationships are at the root of recovery. We believe clients are the architects of their own recovery.
We recognize the uniqueness of every individual and will strive to interact with everyone in a culturally sensitive manner that is respectful of a person’s beliefs, attitudes and behaviors.
We believe each and every person can find and mobilize the strengths within themselves to further personal recovery and lend these strengths to their community in order to promote positive well-being.
We recognize that a constant in life is change itself. We accept the responsibility to encourage change and growth in others and to foster our own personal growth and development. We recognize that growth often involves taking two steps forward and one step back. Often in conflict, there is opportunity for personal growth.
We recognize that psychological trauma plays a significant role in the lives of the people we serve. We appreciate that recovery from interpersonal trauma needs to take place in an environment which offers respect, information, connection and hope. Thrive Behavioral Health offers safe relationships that are consistent, predictable, nonviolent, non-shaming and non-blaming.
We accept the challenge to resolve difficult situations and try new ideas. We support each other in creative risk taking and in maintaining hope in the face of adversity. We recognize it takes courage to overcome barriers in realizing one’s potential.
We realize that the spirit, mind and body can only thrive in nonviolent environments. We foster the peaceful resolution of conflict through social and emotional skill development. We believe life is a gift that should be enjoyed.
Thrive Behavioral Health provides client services while networking with other community organizations. We believe positive working relationships among agencies create empowered communities that are better prepared to provide quality services for all who utilize them. We also believe that Staff, Board Members, and the clients we serve are all part of a community that provides mutual support for one another and an environment built upon teamwork, empowerment, and the hope for a better future.
We encourage and assist individuals to establish positive relationships and to create their own natural support networks. In developing systems of service for people throughout their life cycle, we seek to collaborate with state and local systems to create services more responsive to our clients. We employ education, prevention and early intervention strategies to foster the development of empowered consumers and communities.
As team members, we foster creative synergy to meet the changing needs of our communities and the clients we serve. We appreciate diversity and recognize that each individual contributes his/her knowledge and experience towards accomplishing common goals. We believe effective teams produce better outcomes.
We recognize that our staff is one of our greatest resources and commit to a comprehensive staff development program to advance a person’s level of knowledge and expertise. We also view staff as being qualified, competent professionals in their respective fields and will promote staff retention by being sensitive to staff needs while striving to attain the highest levels of salaries and benefit compensation.
We are committed to excellence as a standard of performance and seek to create broad participation in the development, maintenance, evaluation, and refinement of what we do. We believe consumers should participate in program planning, development and evaluation.
Thrive has helped not only my children, but my entire family immensely. We have made incredible strides as a family and my children as individuals. It has helped with school and their education. I am so extremely grateful for Thrive's family-centered approach.
