The Basics: The Foundations of Our Work

  >  The Guiding Value: To support labeled people in enjoying life conditions at least as good as respected citizens.

  >   How we achieve that value: Identification

       Our deeply felt experience of walking in the shoes of, seeing through the eyes of a person labeled as “different.” To deeply experience “them”        as “us.”
