Self-determination, or empowerment, is at the heart of our approach. We believe that every caregiver, as well as every member of our staff, should be supported in their ability to act and make choices. The caregiver is an expert in their situation and is best positioned to choose their solutions if they receive appropriate guidance.

Respect for the pace and challenges of each caregiver. Mutual respect between counsellor and members creates a healthy and safe atmosphere for everyone.

Transparency of each individual involved in GASO activities underlies good organizational management, promotes smooth internal procedures, and helps develop strong relationships with community partners.

Accessibility to the organization's services and personalized support within a reasonably short timeframe provides close access to our members. Thus, the organization aims to be an accessible, inclusive, and safe place for every caregiver, regardless of their life context.

Uniqueness of each caregiver, their reality, journey, and experiences. The organization places this concept at the core of its operations: by developing their uniqueness, the staff encourages the innovative spirit of GASO.

Confidentiality of personal information, experiences, and stories. The organization operates a secure and professional database managed solely by internal administration. Confidentiality is at the forefront of all our services.
