Core Values:​

• Participant Care and Well-Being

The overall social, mental, physical, and emotional well-being of Southwest Homes; participants is of primary importance to us. We believe that empathy
and compassion form the foundation of our care. We will endlessly seek to understand, advocate for, empower and support participants to thrive in their community life.​

• Trustworthy Relationships

We recognize that we must exemplify trustworthiness in all of our relationships. To that end, in all of our interactions both within the organization and with participants, families, partners, sponsors and funders, and the community, we will nurture healthy and enduring relationships marked by inclusion, equity, care and
respect. We see and know each other not just through our roles but in relationship with one another.​

• Imagining a Way Forward

Southwest Homes believes that participants thrive when the organization is responsive to its context and is open to innovation and creative approaches. We will work with a hopeful disposition and a commitment to ongoing learning, growth, support and perseverance for everyone in the organization. Individually and together, we adapt, we learn, we grow, and we change to best fulfill our mission and vision.​

• Interdependence and Responsibility

We value the rich resourcefulness that resides in the Southwest Homes community. We value the knowledge, skills and dispositions that all contribute to our collective work and recognize that we are dependent on one another for all of us to be our best. Within that interdependent web of relationships, we believe that personal and collective responsibility enriches the Southwest Homes community and exemplifies distributed
leadership.​

• Leading, Living, and Working in Community

The identity of Southwest Homes was forged in our local community to be an innovative, inclusive and
visionary organization that creates “home” for many within the community. We will continue our
commitment to be an exemplary presence within Southwest Saskatchewan, and to be known as such regionally, provincially and nationally. We are committed to the ongoing community engagement that is necessary for us to realize our vision.
