Culture

Safety Safety is a primary need and fundamental right of every person. America’s future depends upon emotionally healthy and physically safe people. Every American – especially teachers, counselors and children’s group leaders – share a unique responsibility to positively nurture, respect and safeguard people. Dignity Every person is unique and has worth and value. Relationships and Belonging People grow in the context of supportive relationships. They are helped most by people closest to them. Mothers and fathers are the single most powerful support system for kids. Empowerment Every kid has powerful potential. Help for kids facing crisis must be available anytime, anywhere. Character Kids learn by making decisions and taking action based upon values. Helping kids anticipate and overcome crisis is a moral imperative and a wise investment of resources. Transformation People discover strengths through choice, risk, failure, insight and success. Every American has a moral obligation to protect and support people as they discover their strengths and transform into healthy adults.
