Respect : Placing people at the heart of our mission, taking into account the relationships with others for the sake of inclusion, dignity and consideration. Offer everyone the opportunity to express their full potential while considering the specificities of each person.
Justice : Promote, defend and enable equal opportunities, whether in terms of health (access to quality care, regardless of social, economic or demographic status), employment, access to housing, or any other field, avoiding any form of discrimination based on stereotypes.
Mutual aid : Promote values such as collaboration and teamwork to offer spontaneous, positive and caring support to each member of our community. Ensure personal or collective well-being, and promote the development of each person through effective collaborative practices coupled with a keen sense of altruism.
