Our Values
At the Green House we believe that children, young people, and families should be able to design, deliver and choose services that are right for them. We combine research, practice expertise and lived experience to deliver innovative whole family services that can support survivors to rebuild their lives after sexual abuse.
We believe it's possible to grow beyond traumatic experiences. Our hope for change recognises the strengths and agency of the children, young people and families we support.
Our commitment lies in nurturing safe and trusting relationships that form the core of healing for both individuals and communities.
We have faith in the ability of creativity to facilitate healing and change the way our society supports children and families affected by sexual abuse.
We believe in meeting people where they are, and we strive to be honest, committed and authentic in all our actions.
We stand with children, young people and families to create the change they want to see.
