First, The Paula Stephenson Group will do no harm. We will think about peace, why peace is important and how it works. We will actively use peacemaking efforts to help people in conflict. And we will be an active pursuer of peace.
The Paula Stephenson Group will always promote healing and well-being in clients and place the client’s and public’s interests above my own. We will respect the integrity of clients and will remain objective in relationships with clients and will act with integrity in dealing with other professionals.
