At Bloom we seek to recognize and understand the inequities that have caused the inaccessibility of safe and welcoming mental health care for all.
Our Mission
We do this through:
Educating ourselves and our therapists on the history and lived experiences of those we serve
We create a team that prioritizes and reflects safety, inclusivity and curiosity.
We seek to provide that at every level of our organization from our management team and board members, to our clinical team and in the care provided to the community.
Our Vision
At Bloom, our vision is to create a world where safe and inclusive mental health care is accessible to all, regardless of background or circumstance. We strive to be a beacon of empathy, understanding, and inclusivity in the mental health community, guided by our mission to foster a culture of safety, intentionality, and open-mindedness.
We envision a future where every individual feels valued, respected, and supported on their mental health journey. Through ongoing education, reflection, and advocacy, we aim to dismantle inequities and barriers that prevent access to quality care. Our commitment to inclusivity extends to every level of our organization, from our diverse team of therapists to our management and board members.
Together, we believe in the power of collaboration and interconnectedness to create positive and sustainable change. By working hand in hand with our community, we aspire to not only provide exceptional mental health services but also to cultivate a society where dignity and integrity are upheld in every interaction and every space. Through our collective efforts, we envision a brighter, more equitable future for mental health care, where everyone has the opportunity to bloom.
Our Values
-
Safety
To cultivate an environment where individuals feel emotionally and relationally safe - where trust, empathy, warmth, transparency and respect flourish. We strive to create spaces where people can freely express their emotions and build healthy, supportive relationships based on understanding, compassion, communication, thoughtful boundaries and mutual respect.
-
Curiosity
To embrace a willingness to consider new ideas, perspectives and experiences through fostering a culture of growth and open-mindedness.
To consistently develop a posture of empathy and humility through question-asking, inquisition, and learning from the clinical staff and community we seek to serve.
-
Community
To create a space where there is a shared sense of belonging and mutual support within a network of interconnected individuals and communities, fostering communal spirit that transcends individual boundaries and promotes collective well-being.
To acknowledge the interconnected nature of all things and the impact of our actions on others and the environment, promoting empathy, understanding, collaboration and sharing of resources.
-
Dignity
To recognize and respect the inherent worth and rights of every individual- treating them with compassion, fairness and empathy while upholding their autonomy. This also means providing care that preserves one’s individual and collective sense of identity, agency and humanity through fostering an environment that challenges stigma, discrimination and judgment.
