Mission Statement: Providing Extraordinary Services for Exceptional People

Mission: Our mission at Mountain Crest Counseling Services to provide measurable outcomes and assist in facilitating individuals wishes for change and growth.

I like in particular how this mission statement emphasizes the contributions that each person is able to make in the world through what makes them unique, especially in the context of disabilities. In employment support the common perception of the public is contradictory to this, where often in my experience the unique nature of clients is what endears them to employers, or particularly suited to certain jobs/tasks.
