Transcend Values

Operate with good intent. Above all, we aim to reduce suffering. We must remain selfless in pursuit of that noble goal, acting with good intent and assuming the same in our partners and peers.

Proceed with Passion. We’re working to usher in an era where people with mental illness have safe and easy access to the treatments they need. Fulfilling that mission demands creative ideas, camaraderie among collaborators, and an understanding that we are all responsible for our individual and team success.

Be willing to work—and learn—together. The problems we’re working to solve are complex, and no one person has every solution. Making the best decision as a team is more important than being individually “right.” The diversity of our backgrounds and experiences is a strength; when all of those views are synthesized, we can develop new solutions and make better decisions.

Stay focused and flexible. Resourcefulness plays a major part in our success; we can’t let unexpected set-backs derail our progress. Think creatively, act ethically, and find a way to get it done.
