About
Our mission is to support professionals to be safe with their clients, colleagues and the public through training and education.
We aim to help people be safe through providing a powerful space for reflection and insight. We work to raise awareness and responsibility and to promote change.
We exist to help people work in line with their values and commitments through awareness of boundaries, value-ethics and listening.
Our values
We work to keep professional relationships safe from avoidable harm and to maintain the integrity of the relationship and we work to help remediate them following a breach.
We work wherever there is service being provided, including in healthcare or social work, in therapy, ministry, education, the criminal justice system and financial or corporate environments.
We provide a space where people can transform their experience and powerfully align with their core values.
