Harper Smith, MSW

Social Work Philosophy:It is my calling to provide compassion and empowerment to each person I come in contact with. I place significance on the experience of individuals and will do all in my power to connect them to appropriate resources to help them reach their goals. I value dignity of the individual, consensus in decision making, and promotion of the least restrictive environment for people with disabilities. I can be expected to hold space for those whose voices are not being heard through active listening and shared responsibility in the relationship. I provide the necessary knowledge and resources to individuals and their social support networks to empower them to make informed choices based upon personal values.
