Principles that guide our work:

Brain and Trauma Aware

Empowering People & Communities

Brain and Trauma Aware

We understand how the brain works, develops, changes and is impacted by stress, adversity, and trauma. We, therefore, understand the importance of creating safe spaces for community consultation, workshops, training, and co-design processes, so everyone feels safe, valued and able to contribute.

Understanding Power

Empowering People & Communities

Brain and Trauma Aware

We understand and are sensitive to the impacts and dynamics of power, implicit bias (including our own), and systemic oppression in all our work.

Empowering People & Communities

We do this through co-design, collaborative decision making and empowering and supporting communities to find solutions to lead their own change processes and projects.

Diversity & Inclusion

Empowering People & Communities

We work hard to create inclusive environments, that respect human rights, celebrate diversity and allow for safe & meaningful participation.

Never Assuming

Diversity & Inclusion

Capacity Building

We work hard not to assume, instead, we, clarify meaning by asking thoughtful questions.
