Supportive and Positive Relationships
Nurturing and maintaining positive relationship with the State’s contracted providers and within the Department of Health, Behavioral Health Administration is the foundation on which all of our professional relationships stand. We treat each interaction as an opportunity to extend respect and care to those with whom we work. We avoid and discourage negative speech against others. We remain sensitive and open to the individual differences related to gender, age, culture, education, marital status, religion, and sexual orientation. We support each other by sharing responsibilities. We believe that sharing laughter and having fun is an essential part of maintaining a positive relationship.
Excellent Communication
We bring to our communication a sincere desire to understand one another’s point of view and seek harmonious solutions. We value clear, effective, and efficient communication. We strive to provide concise and clear expectations when we make requests of others. When others make requests of us, we are consistent in acknowledging and clarifying what their expectations are. We send and receive messages fully mindful of the need to remain neutral in our speech and mannerisms in order to avoid misunderstandings, eliminating the possibility of defensive and reactive interactions.
