are informed by the core values of
respect for the inherent dignity and worth of
persons, pursuit of social justice, integrity of

community-based clinics and hospitals; schools;
correctional facilities; settings that serve older adults,
such as nursing homes; and military veterans and
active duty military personnel agencies.

sense that people’s uniqueness----such as
personal history, culture, gender, social class,
religion, language, etc. of individuals, groups
and communities----has to be recognized in
the helping process.

conflict, confusion, and crisis and provides the tools for the individual to

emancipating the marginalized individuals and facilitating participation in
the public goods and services that are necessary for self-development.

development.
