Our trauma-informed approach to wellbeing and people management relies on individual and collective commitment to these values, which we incorporate in our work. These values outline how our community must treat each other in order for it to thrive.

We recommend you read these and think deeply whether you will be able to operate by these values, and if you agree with them. If you do not, then Chayn might not be a good place for you to thrive and it may act as a barrier for others to thrive in your presence too. We detail these on this page and also below: https://www.notion.so/chayn/What-it-s-like-to-work-at-Chayn-01e9a3c1dd4b45feb7c2444e1ef2189d

Survivor-centred
We promote survivor leadership, agency, and welfare through the fabric of how we operate, what we work on, and when we work on it.

Trauma-informed
We minimise re-traumatisation in our survivor-facing work and within the team, by following our trauma-informed design principles and through continuous training, team support, and making room for recovery through rest and change.

Feminist with an intersectional lens
We recognise how harm manifests in different and disproportionate ways for people living at the intersection of multiple oppressions.

Open by default
We work collaboratively, have transparent work practices, and produce open-source materials. We are curious and open to learn, and we generously share our learnings, resources and services with the world. Our leadership encourages our peers to open up too.

Generous
We give each other the benefit of the doubt and care for each other’s growth with generosity.

Inclusive
We understand, appreciate, and acknowledge ways in which we are similar and different; we encourage working practices that leave no one behind.
