Introduction
This Code of Ethics represents the spiritual, emotional, and community-based foundation in which Street Therapy was built upon. It draws inspiration from various universal holistic principles as well as the Twelve Principles of Recovery. With purpose, these codes integrate mental health, spirituality, and self-expression into a fluid approach to healing, self-transformation and various forms of rehabilitation and recovery.
1. Honesty & Authenticity
We commit to honest self-reflection and truthful communication—both with ourselves and within the community. Vulnerability is seen as strength. We acknowledge that healing is a journey, not a destination.
2. Faith & Openness
We cultivate openness to a higher power (as each individual understands it) and to unseen energies, spiritual dimensions, and mystical aspects of recovery. We hold space for diverse beliefs and respect all healing paths.
3. Surrender to Support
We recognize that true healing cannot occur in isolation. We rely on the collective support of mentors, spiritual guides, and community members. We surrender the illusion of self-reliance and open ourselves to connection and guidance.
4. Soul-Searching & Inventory
We commit to continual inner work—evaluating our actions, beliefs, and wounds with honesty and compassion. Tools such as meditation, journaling, and ritual reflection allow us to integrate lessons and uncover suppressed truths.
5. Admitting & Accountability
We take responsibility for our past actions, mistakes, and harms done. Through truth-telling and self-awareness, we seek accountability and practice restorative healing with humility and courage.
6. Acceptance & Willingness to Change
We embrace our imperfections as opportunities for growth. We stay willing to evolve, to let go of limiting patterns, and to transform through love, discipline, and conscious action.
7. Humility & Service
We remember that humility is strength. Through service to others—volunteering, teaching, or simply showing compassion—we honor the divine reciprocity of healing. Service connects us to our shared humanity.
8. Making Amends & Reparation
We actively work to heal relationships and restore balance within ourselves and our communities. We approach reconciliation with humility, seeking peace, forgiveness, and integrity.
9. Continual Self- and Spiritual Maintenance
We uphold regular practices of spiritual hygiene—meditation, prayer, movement, ritual, energy work—to sustain wellness and balance. We understand relapse or regression as signals for deeper alignment rather than failure.
10. Seeking Conscious Connection
We strengthen our conscious connection with our higher selves, our communities, and the spiritual realms that guide us. We listen inwardly and outwardly for truth, guidance, and purpose.
11. Carrying the Message & Extending the Mission
We share our healing journeys as living testimony that transformation is possible. We extend Street Therapy’s mission beyond ourselves—through workshops, outreach, online presence, and acts of service.
12. Spirituality in All Affairs
We integrate spiritual and ethical awareness in every action—whether creative, professional, or personal. Every thought, word, and deed becomes an offering of healing, compassion, and alignment with the light.
Affirmation of Commitment
"I commit to these holistic ethical principles as a reflection of my ongoing recovery, spiritual growth, and service to the Street Therapy community. I recognize that healing is both a personal journey and a collective movement toward light, authenticity, and freedom."
Street Therapy Forward is inevitable. Move in stride!
