Our Values
Monarch Behavioral Health lives by values that guide who we are as a team and how we present to our communities. We hire staff who bring these values to life.
Professionalism - Our employees are respectful, compassionate, communicative, a good listener, flexible, honest, put integrity first (doing what is right), helpful, approachable, avoid gossip and other unprofessional conduct, and maintain a positive attitude. We engage in active listening to maintain clear, collaborative and respectful conversations with clients and colleagues. We operate with integrity, understanding that the universal concepts of ‘karma’ or ‘you reap what you sow’ are in effect always. We maintain an open-door attitude but also willingly hold appropriate professional boundaries with clients and colleagues.
Abundance Minded - Our employees operate from a place of abundance. We believe there are plenty of clients out there for us each to get to work with the people we love. We believe in healthy competition, but not tearing each other down or focusing on scarcity or lack.
Eager-to-Learn - Our employees are hardworking, look to serve first and foremost, take initiative, and are willing to do “whatever it takes” to accomplish their goals. We are committed, responsible, reliable, proactive, and solution-oriented. We take responsibility for our lives and are always looking for ways to learn to advance ourselves and those around us. We follow thru when we promise something to someone even if we have to learn something new to be able to do so. We actively pursue and maintain areas of specializations and have clearly defined niches. We also always maintain openness to explore one’s professional identity and a commitment to lifelong learning and growth.
Humbly Confident - Monarch team members take accountability, are growth-oriented, patient, genuine and authentic, think deeply and are open to feedback. They do not carry a sense of entitlement and accept personal responsibility. They think deeply and reflect on themselves to always learn and grow.
