The organization’s vision is to create a community where individuals impacted by mental health illnesses, developmental disabilities, and addictive diseases receive the help they need for a life of recovery. The mission of Pineland BHDD is to develop and provide services that minimize the impact of these conditions on the lives of those they serve and their families, while supporting their inclusion in the community.

The mission is supported by values that set the standards for the agency’s conduct. These values include the belief that all people have value and should be supported to reach their full potential for independence and self-sufficiency. Pineland BHDD aims to provide a comprehensive system of services that are accessible, acceptable, effective, efficient, and of the highest quality. Priority is given to those with the most severe disabilities and those without adequate resources. Services are designed to be delivered in the individuals’ own communities where they have the natural support of friends and families. 

The planning and evaluation of services involve individuals served, families, and documented community needs, resulting in continuous quality improvement. Services are delivered by compassionate, knowledgeable, and well-trained staff, supported by ongoing training and education. Programs are designed and implemented in a manner that respects the dignity of individuals and their families and responds to their needs. Pineland services are culturally competent and respectful of human diversity. Management is accountable for maintaining administrative systems that support services, ensure fiscal soundness, and remain adaptive to change.

Collaboration with other community agencies and organizations is a priority to provide continuity of services and maximize available resources. Prevention and early intervention are equally important as treatment, with agency plans including goals that focus on these areas. Community support and acceptance are critical to the success of Pineland’s mission, and the organization communicates to area citizens the resources needed, the achievements of the agency and those it serves, and information aimed at reducing stigma and increasing public knowledge. Pineland BHDD operates with integrity and high ethical standards that guide all decisions.
