Our Values

Thrive is women-led and family-centered. Our founders' background in lived experience of poverty, gender-based discrimination, disability-based discrimination and racism, have given us a unique perspective and position to develop much-needed services. Far too often we have felt unwelcome in everyday places, and that services don't celebrate or even consider our differences. Thrive accepts all people from all backgrounds. 

We understand that people, especially young people and children, can be deeply impacted by events in their lives. We take a trauma-informed approach in all aspects of Thrive. From the way we train staff, to the way we support all our children and young people. This enables us to ensure our practice is person-centered.
