MENTOR Embraces a The dictionary describes Culture as the “attitude, beliefs, perceptions and values that a group of people share.” We find many cultures in our everyday lives as we interact and are a part of different groups of people, such as in politics, sports, work, religion, family and many others. At California MENTOR we share a Culture of Safety. When people hear the term Culture of Safety most are immediately reminded of environmental safety. We think of fire drills, smoke detectors, no slippery floors, sanitation, easy access and other similar things pertaining to physical health and safety. While these things are vitally important in our Family Home Agency program, we believe a culture of safety represents every facet of family living. Safety does not just refer to the environment but includes emotional, mental, physical and sexual well-being as well.

Culture of Safety refers to an environment where it is safe to speak up; where people stop, listen, and validate concerns and are quick to respond. This culture values, supports and empowers others. It is encouraging, positive, helping and inspiring. It is the foundation of building relationships and enhancing lives. A Culture of Safety is to be aware and vigilant of hazards, danger, risk, vulnerability, peril and threat. It shines a light on discrimination, manipulation, prejudice, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and is intolerant of such behavior. California MENTOR’s Family Home Agency embraces a Culture of Safety and we seek to recruit, certify and support Mentors who wish to play a part in sharing this culture. JOURNEYS | MENTORSWANTED.COM
