Improvements in a person's quality of life is the overarching goal of services offered by Motivational Services.

(2) meaningful daily activity, (3) work or educational opportunities, (4) a helpful social network of families and friends,
(5) recreational opportunities, (6) health care including dental and mental health care, (7) opportunities for improving
their spiritual life and (8) legal services.
Vision
We offer programs, options and alternatives that are designed to meet the needs of people with severe and prolonged mental
illness in our community. We strive to provide and shape services that are flexible, accommodating and complement other
mental health, rehabilitation and social services available in our service area.
Values
We believe that individual dignity, integrity and respect are of paramount importance in every agency activity.
We value and employ "best practices" and professional standards to assist consumers in choosing and using the most
helpful services.
Our practices support each person in maintaining his/her freedom and self-determination to the most feasible degree.
We value and support our employees, and demonstrate in our relationships the same values central to the services offered
to our consumers.
We strive to promote "adaptive risk taking" by our consumers. This includes both encouragement of individual initiative
and discouragement of compulsive and extreme risks. More specifically, we strive to eliminate harm or threat of financial
loss to our consumers, employees, the agency and its directors. On an individual basis we assist consumers in evaluating
the safety of their choices, taking in to consideration environmental factors as well as a person's skills and supports.
We continuously and actively invest in practices which foster organizational innovation, accountability, improvement
and increased effectiveness.
We strive to complement similar human service programs and to support the development of integrated community services.
