OUR VALUES

Dennison and our subcontractors share a set of values and use those values to select engagement opportunities and in our approach to our work.

Commitment to Those with Mental Illnesses

We share a deep and abiding commitment to those with mental illnesses and their families and believe they should be partners with providers and mental health authorities in the development and monitoring of the public mental health system that serves them. We incorporate this value through our active inclusion and support of consumer and family participation in all facets of our work. We embrace and encourage the incorporation of the concepts of recovery and resiliency and believe that these concepts maximize the likelihood of consumer satisfaction, access, and service efficacy.

Commitment to the Success of Providers

Parker Dennison fundamentally respects public sector behavioral health providers and we recognize that only through having a stable, efficient, and effective provider network can persons with mental illnesses and families receive the level and quality of services and supports necessary to support their recovery. We value providers as the link to local communities and the point at which abstract concepts take on reality and impact individuals, and we therefore are ultimately committed to the success of providers.

Commitment to Supporting the Role of Definitive Mental Health Authorities

Parker Dennison is committed to supporting the role of definitive mental health authorities. We believe that the presence of a strong mental health authority is
central to the creation and maintenance of a stable, efficient, and effective mental health system that is most likely to support the successful recovery of persons with mental illnesses.

Commitment to a Collaborative Approach

We are committed to a collaborative approach to systems change and transformation. We believe that in times of limited resources, and competing needs from other public systems, the mental health system can ill afford to have mental health consumers, providers and state authorities having the appearance of struggling against one another. Building understanding of complex issues, finding collaborative solutions, and ultimately garnering the support of key constituencies increases the likelihood of workable outcomes and preservation of system funding and supports.

Commitment to Producing Value-Driven, Practical Solutions

Parker Dennison consultants are well-known for our practical, ‘real-world’ solutions to the day to day challenges of surviving in today’s behavioral healthcare environment. Because of the breadth of our operational experience, we can not only tell a client what they need to do, but can offer examples of similar situations, work product proven to be successful, and when desired, link the client to someone who has successfully accomplished similar objectives. We pride ourselves on good ‘bang for the buck’ production of outcomes for our clients, including timely and professional products whether they be plans, reports, or presentations.
