Mission Statement:

Philosophy

We define sexuality as the expression and awareness of ourselves through life.

We believe that:

• People have the right to live free of discrimination, regardless of their age, gender, sexual preference, marital status, ethnicity, religion or ability.
• People have the right to express their sexuality but only without hurt, or violation of the rights of others. So that people are able to make informed choices about sexuality and take responsible actions for their own sexual health, they have the right to:
  • Honest and accurate information about sexuality.
  • An awareness and understanding of sexual feelings.
  • Communicate with ease about their sexuality.
  • Access to health care services.
  • The opportunity to clarify their values and understand those of others.
  • Life long learning about sexuality as a natural part of living.
  • Confidentiality in all aspects.

The philosophy allows for freedom to reach our potential as human beings.
