PCS provides services based on these general tenets:

• All human beings have an innate desire to be emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy. When given support, encouragement, and insight, they will move towards health.
• All human beings have strengths and skills that are admirable and desirable.
• All human beings operate in a connected system of individuals, groups, and organizations that all impact and shape their experiences, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. When those systems are damaging, or destructive, human beings develop coping responses that may be maladaptive and unhealthy, but are understandable given their circumstances.
• Within all human beings lies the ability to achieve emotional, physical, and spiritual health once barriers to healthy growth are removed.
• Clinicians working with individuals and families facilitate the consumers own natural inclination to health by identifying and capitalizing on the consumers strengths and skills.
• Clinicians acknowledge that all services are for the benefit of the consumer and consider the consumer to be the agent of change in the therapeutic process. As such, the consumer determines goals of treatment and defines the conditions of success.
• Professionals and agencies involved with the consumer are acknowledged to be part of the consumers’ ecosystem and are involved in the therapeutic process as appropriate but are secondary to the consumer and their immediate relations.
