Our Philosophy
The philosophy of Gateway Residential and Community Support Services of Niagara Inc. is rooted in a desire to serve others.
As a human service organization we believe in the uniqueness and infinite value and dignity of each individual, without regard to financial status, or to the number, nature or severity of mental illness / mental health problems.
We support and encourage the individual's right to independence, personal decision-making, and involvement in all aspects of planning, implementation, governance and evaluation.
Our philosophy demands an individual approach that will permit assessment and holistic program design that is consumer driven in all cases.
This approach implies that the individual supports must be accessible and available and that these services are delivered / procured in a manner, that is responsive to individual need.
Our aim is to make our practice congruent with this philosophy in the day-to-day operation of the organization.
