HELPING THOSE IN NEED



About



The Lighthouse is a faith-and community-based, trauma-informed care service provider organized in 2004. We help pave the way for improved quality of life through dignified, tangible programs and supportive services that provide security and foster self-reliance. We support a healthy environment that fosters community wellness while nourishing essential relationships, teaches cultural competence, and empathy-building skills between the participants, volunteers and providers.

​



Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit. In humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others. Have this in mind amount yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.



Philippians 2:3-5



Our Culture and Policies



Disclaimer for Culture Competency



Lighthouse Community Center believes that it is essential that all aspects of systems be reflective of the diversity of the communities that they serve and that LCC strives to become and remain culturally and linguistically competent. A culturally and linguistically competent system incorporates skills, attitudes, and policies to ensure that it is effectively addressing the needs of individuals and families with diverse values, beliefs, and sexual orientations, in addition to backgrounds that vary by race, ethnicity, religion, and language.



DISCLAIMER FOR DEI (DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION)



At LCC, we believe embracing different perspectives, experiences, identities, and cultures is what makes us strong. Diversity enhances our ability to better serve, connect and respect our participants. Diversity allows us to cultivate a safe and positive work environment where everyone feels empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to the workplace. Diversity also gives us the opportunity to make a positive and lasting impact in our communities. There is more work to be done in creating a culture of equity, positivity, acceptance, and respect; and we welcome your involvement with our journey.



Our Commitment to Anti-Racism



Lighthouse Community Center is committed to advancing an anti-racist agenda. We affirm the importance of advocacy and recognize that racial injustice has caused trauma and harm to disenfranchised communities. We acknowledge that combating racism and inequity is an ongoing commitment. The impact of economic, clinical, and environmental disparities, including diverse linguistic needs, may hinder the opportunity to access and receive quality and equitable health care and services. Thus, we remain devoted to addressing discrimination, stigma, and other social and moral determinants of health, leading by example and educating our affiliates and communities. Together, we stand united in support of racial justice and the intersection of behavior health, primary health, and the well-being care of humanity.
