Common Vision for Real Transformation
Change that reflects current research and best practice.
Change that involves the full participation of individuals and families.
Change that is based on the values of citizenship and inclusion.
Creating a new story and a new system where decision-making rests with individuals, families and support networks.
Moving the current system away from a paternalistic approach,where power is invested mostly in agencies, to a system that recognizes the need for partnerships and new approaches designed to empower individuals and families.
An openness and willingness to learn, from innovative, person-directed approaches and from what individuals and families/support networks genuinely want.
Working together based on respect and integrity. As Margaret Wheatley says:
If we work together more intelligently, we will need to choose processes that evoke our curiosity, humility, generosity and wisdom.
