Our Approach

​

At Allies In Caring, we build collaborative relationships with people, service providers, and community partners.

​

With a sense of shared responsibility, we form a therapeutic alliance with our users. We nurture self-awareness and kindness. Together we explore in a non-judgmental way both: obstacles and potential.

​

We enhance people engagement in treatment and outcomes through:

​

• Paying attention to the goals that are important for the person.

• Honoring people's experiences and views.

• Drawing out resources and intrinsic motivation that already exist in the user.

• Affirming the people's capacity to choose whether or not to change in every situation.

• Identifying and reducing the barriers that get in the way of the pursuit of the user's goals.

 

We respond and make sense of the complexity of needs of our multicultural people by applying culturally affirmative skills such as:

​

• Language accessibility; English, Spanish, and Sign Language.

• Knowledge of the specific effects of culture on the person.

• Use of culturally and developmentally appropriate treatment goals, process, and content.
