  • Kiva Centers' Peer Run Respite Service Agreement:

     

    At Kiva Centers, we offer a space of warmth and understanding for Guests seeking solace and support. We embrace the values of self-determination, reciprocity, safety and respect, as we strive to foster a home where all people are valued.

    As I complete this Recommendation form, I pause to consider my own readiness to contribute positively to our shared space. Am I in a mental state that aligns with the principles of respect and dignity for fellow Guests, staff, and the land we gather on? I recognize the gravity of this responsibility, and I commit to upholding these principles in my actions.

    I acknowledge that if I am not able to uphold these values or compromises the sanctity of our shared environment, I may be asked to leave or no longer be eligible for peer-run respite support in the future. 

  • In this next session, we're going to ask you some questions about you, such as your age, race, and gender. These questions help us get the funding we need to continue running our homes and making our programs better.

    Your personal information is kept stictly confidential. When we report on the data, we don't use any names or identifying information; we compile all the data into statistics.

    You don't have to answer any questions you don't want to, and it won't change whether you can stay with us or not. It's totally up to you!
