Our Vision

Our desire is to create a restorative culture of care.  We want people to be supported in developing the skills they need for their resilience, recovery, and re-entry into the culture in personally meaningful and sustainable ways.  We foster this mainly through our Street Outreach Alliance Network and our RESET for Wellness Teacher-Training program.  As advocates, we also dispel the myths surrounding homelessness, and we’re building a network of care through people who are sharing our resources with people in all 50 United States!

Our Mission

Our goal is to empower individuals by helping them to cultivate essential skills and to help reduce homelessness through our RESET for Wellness program and our Street Outreach Alliance Network. By sharing educational resources, we intend to support the building of resilience, resourcefulness, and recovery.   Our educational program, RESET for Wellness trains social workers and other professionals in new ways to engage their clients in building skills utilizing the healing and expressive arts.  Our intention is that through this educational program, we and our trainers will continue to help individuals in need of support to regain their sense of purpose and self-worth, so they can rebuild their lives and contribute to society in ways that are personally meaningful and sustainable.

Our Values and Ethics

Our values include: service, social justice, affirming the dignity and worth of the individuals that we work with and supporting their capacity and ability to address their needs and build skills to improve their personal situations, acknowledging the importance of human relationships and collaboration, integrity, and competence.
