Vincentian Values
The Vincent DePaul Counseling Program is grounded in three core Vincentian values of Justice, Service, and Leadership. Justice is the affective value that transforms the human spirit toward empathy in caring for others. Service is the effective value that equips people to courageously respond to the real needs of individuals, communities, and society at large. Leadership is the advocacy value that brings people together to effect systemic change.
