Oaklawn Mission and Values
At Oaklawn, our mission and values guide everything we do – from the way we care for individuals and families to how we serve our communities. We believe in hope, healing and the power of compassionate, whole-person care.
Our Mission
With uncommon expertise in mental health and addiction services, Oaklawn joins with individuals, families and our community on the journey toward health and wholeness.
Our Values
Compassion
Every person’s story is shaped by many factors: life experiences, relationships, biology and personal beliefs, to name a few. We’re here to listen, understand and respond without judgment, blame or stigma.
Integrity
We choose to be truthful and as transparent as possible in our treatment, our partnerships, our work with each other and our financial operations.
Human dignity
We focus on each person’s strengths and build on them. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with you?” we ask, “What has happened to you?” We understand many people have experienced trauma, and we create space for healing, growth and renewed dignity.
Professional expertise
We value well-trained, credentialed staff who use the most up-to-date and proven treatment methods. Ongoing training and clinical supervision are critical to our mission.
Community partnerships
We recognize the wide-ranging behavioral health and addiction needs in our community. Along with serving individuals with high levels of need, we’re proud to work alongside community partners who share our commitment to care. Together, we can extend support and reach more people where they are.
