Our Core Values: read them all at www.hmea.org
- We believe that each person with a disability has a desire for a rich and varied life, including a physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual dimension.
- We believe that the people we support can be our friends and can be our teachers, that fostering relationships with the wider community enriches everyone.
- We believe that each person grows through their life experience and has the right to make his/her own life choices, including those that may involve risk. We support each person to discover their own dream for a meaningful life.
