“My ethics are manifested by the way I live my daily life, the way I perform my daily tasks, and the way interact with my fellow human beings. Focusing on the dynamics of relationships through a new understanding of the interconnection between others and myself, condemn hurt and exploitation of the mentally ill, and take responsibility for choices that I make. I apply the ethical principle of justice and respect for others. People should be treated fairly and equally, acknowledging the right of all individuals to make decisions and to live according to their decisions. The respect for others transcends cultural differences, gender issues, religious differences, and racial concerns. My purpose is to help eliminate the stigma and barriers to mental healthcare and provide the utmost highest quality and compassionate care.”
