Below are the core beliefs and values that drive and shape how GTI operates:



• We respect individual experience.

• We value people expressing their emotional truth
through creative outlets.

• We believe that healing is implicit
in the creative process.

• We believe that honest expression of personal truth is essential
to re-claiming ones-self as a whole being.

• We believe personal growth is essential and always possible
for people recovering from brain injury.

• We believe co-designing a group-initiated art piece
with an process book can serve as an essential reflective and advocacy recovery tool.

• We believe that life quality often increases as members redefine
themselves by accessing their personal creativity.

• We believe an open mind and flexible attitudes are a key
to personal and group success, in workshops and seminars.

• We value setting goals and personal anonymity
in the workshop process.

• We value the education possible for GTI members
and viewers by presenting a completed art piece at public art exhibits and presentations.

• We value respectful communication
for GTI staff, facilitators and members.

• We value equal opportunity for all
who receive training and workshop services – respecting all abilities.
