OUR MISSION

The mission of The Vera Perlin Society is to secure and/or provide quality service and support for all individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families in St. John's and surrounding areas, enabling them to participate in all areas of community living.

We all must accomplish this by:

  • Utilizing motivated employees;

  • Maximizing sponsor, volunteer and community support;

  • Having a strong positive influence on government social policy.

  • We believe that every individual with a intellectual disability must be allowed to enjoy the benefits of participating in all areas of community living. We will be sensitive and responsive to the family unit's needs and treat them, collectively and individually, with respect.

  • We will provide a climate and career development opportunities that encourage employees to share in and contribute to our commitment to individuals with intellectual disabilities. We recognize that the position must be above reproach, and every employee is responsible and accountable for their actions.

  • We recognize the valued contribution of our partners in fulfilling our immediate and long-term goals. They are critical to our successes, and we believe we will retain their confidence if we continue to dedicate ourselves to serving the needs of our clients.

  • We believe that we fulfill a vital and respected role in the community. To encourage and promote support, we must utilize every opportunity to share our aims and goals with the community.
