Our Vision

Recovery-friendly campuses for all post-secondary institutions in Alberta.

Our Mission

In partnership with Alberta post-secondaries, we co-create, champion, and sustain recovery programs that support and celebrate all recovery pathways for campus communities.

Our Values

Respect, Integrity, Equity, Collaboration.

How do we achieve this?

  • Incorporating an Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonizing (EDID) lens to all our work.
  • Engaging in knowledge development and mobilization that honours diverse ways of knowing and forms of knowledge.
  • Collaborating and advocating with communities to create a strong network and increase access for students, faculty, and staff to expanded opportunities for recovery capital.
  • Working collaboratively with the 26 publicly funded post-secondary institutions in Alberta to educate, destigmatize, and innovate around addiction and recovery.

Respect

Respect is achieved by honoring diversity with an inclusive, reciprocal, and listening approach to all individuals and communities. Listening to and recognizing different opinions, ideas, and approaches, and being present and valuing our colleagues, partners, and community’s voices and contribution.

We achieve respect by treating people with care, compassion, dignity, and professionalism, and caring for the environment in a sustainable way.

Integrity

We attain integrity by being trustworthy and open minded, and communicating with honesty and transparency.

Integrity is reached by upholding the mission, values, ethical principles, and ethical practice, teaching, and research standards, and by interacting and working together with reciprocal accountability in our relationships.

Equity

We achieve equity through prioritizing and promoting diversity and inclusion in our work, with both individuals and communities. We remove barriers to equity by recognizing the needs of the individual and community, challenging social injustice and disrupting the status quo. Lastly, by making decisions about policy, practices, research, and resource allocation using EDI principles.

Collaboration

Last, but not least is collaboration. By developing meaningful, impactful, and evident relationships in service to humanity, and working together with our partners and communities to achieve social change.

ROC is engaging, connecting, and involving community to foster supportive and beneficial collaborations.
