MISSION  STATEMENT

PHILOSOPHY OF THE INN

Value of the Individual

The Inn of Windsor places value on the individual person having within themselves the potential for change no matter what her circumstances.

The Inn of Windsor recruits personnel with the professional skills and human qualities of deep respect, dedication and caring for those who come into our care. The staff are able to develop supportive relationships that foster autonomy, participation and creativity in others.

Value of Self Determination

The mission of The Inn of Windsor is directed at youth and we are committed to uphold the dignity of youth and to encourage their pursuit for advancement and fulfillment in professional and social life.

Residents of The Inn of Windsor will find the freedom to realize their full potential as young adults in order to accept their responsibility in society and to lead meaningful lives.

We have the responsibility to seek social justice for all and to speak for youth's rights and equality under the law.

Value of Family Life

The Inn of Windsor believes that family life offers the best opportunity for meeting the developmental needs and social needs of each youth.

We believe that a youth should be separated from their family only when circumstances, problems with parents or problems of the individual youth are such that even with intervention, they cannot receive the care and treatment needed while residing in their own home or community.

We believe that family wounds can be healed and our ultimate responsibility is to return, if possible, the youth to their family life.

Value of Youth's Rights

The Inn of Windsor places value on the entitlements and rights of youth and is committed to providing the basic and special needs of those in care.  

The Inn of Windsor seeks to eliminate child and youth poverty as it is seen as a major cause of suffering, developmental problems and of family stress and disenfranchisement
