Our Values
Learning: Claratel Behavioral Health is a place that challenges people to learn how to be better. We value a culture where staff can take chances on new ideas, provide a safe space for us to make mistakes, and find ways to help us learn from them—having talented and well-trained staff that is client and mission-focused.
Inclusivity, Diversity, and Opportunities: Claratel Behavioral Health ensures that our clients and staff are in an environment that is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and provides ample opportunity for all to succeed. By providing our staff, clients, and board with opportunities to learn and grow, Claratel Behavioral Health is the provider of choice, the employer of choice, and the board of choice.
Teamwork: Never make decisions without the input of others, and never ask anyone to do anything you are not willing to do yourself. Our ability to persevere and be successful depended on our ability to work as a team.
Connections: Find a way to connect by taking the time to talk with others and learn about them as individuals. By investing in making a personal connection, we create a bridge to better understanding, openness, and mutual respect. We provide a full continuum of services through collaboration and connection with our community.
Do Good: Every effort should be made to ensure that our actions are doing the most good for staff and the clients we serve. By standing on the firm ground of “doing good,” you become steadfast and confident in weathering any storm that may come.
