PHILOSOPHY

---

Giving Hearts will actively operate under the philosophy that an individual’s growth is the function of the nature of their relationship and interaction with others and his/her environment regardless of their level of intellectual functioning. This includes relationships with staff, significant others, peers, family members, and It is within the context of these relationships along with a system of graduated alternatives that consumers will gain and enjoy security, acceptance, and support for growth and change. Additionally, an individualized service plan structured from a person-centered approach embraces service delivery in the area of care, treatment, training, and rehabilitation. Through this plan, consumers learn new skills to enhance their abilities to become more self-sufficient, make choices and make meaningful contributions to their community.
