Values and Approaches

Organizational Values

Our organization’s values define who we are and guide everything we do. These core principles shape our culture, drive our mission, and ensure we stay true to our purpose. CASA of Continental Divide embraces these values in the services we offer, our relationships, and in our policies and structure.

Approaches

Our approach to our work is rooted in Trauma-Informed Care and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), ensuring that we create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for those we serve. By recognizing the impact of trauma and prioritizing emotional well-being, we foster resilience, build strong relationships, and promote healing-centered engagement. These frameworks guide our practices, helping us cultivate a culture of empathy, trust, and growth.

Land Acknowledgment

CASA of the Continental Divide acknowledges we are located on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Southern Utes, Uncompahgre Utes, Northern/ White River Utes, and Cheyenne peoples past and present. We acknowledge 48 contemporary tribal nations are historically tied to the lands that make up the state of Colorado. In our daily lives, let us honor and respect those who stewarded the land through generations.

CASACD acknowledges this statement will evolve as we continue to learn the history of the land we occupy. 
We are in the process of educating ourselves about the atrocities that took place against indigenous peoples on this land.

We would be humbled by your feedback
