Mission & Values

The Empowerment Initiatives Mission

To be a catalyst providing individuals with mental health diagnoses opportunities for choice and development of personal goals, using the four principles of self determination.

Our Values

• People are the masters of their own lives.  Each individual has the power and responsibility for self-healing.
• People gain independence through self-discovery by making personal choices free from coercion.
• Self-discovery includes the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from one’s personal journey.
• The community has the responsibility to broaden horizons and break down barriers to include all people.  Inclusion means that the civil rights of all citizens are respected.
• Change is possible for individuals in society.  Hope is powerful.
