It is vital to ensure that young people are not exposed to more harm than they already have. This extends to where and how we approach young people to avoid anxiety and triggering environments. It defines our practice of session delivery on young peoples terms. 

Young people are taught the difference between reacting and responding. Given the coping mechanisms and support to take a step back and rationalise behaviour with reference to short term gain and long term pain. Importantly to value short term pain for long term gain. Such as education, training and a career. 

Young People are coached on understanding that their choices are the reason they find themselves where they are. Our aim is to ensure that we develop leadership in young people that means developing accountable adults. Reinforcing responsible behaviour young people learn to own their past and take control of their futures. 

All our work aims to build resilient, well informed, wise decision making youth with future prospects. Young people with the self esteem, confidence, skills, knowledge to make good choices. Resilience being the best barrier to address vulnerabilities that make them targets for crime, violenc and gangs. Giving them an identity within society that counteracts any sense of belonging they felt on the streets.
