About Us
Breaking the cycle of youth violence
Our Mission is to:
- Promote the safety and well being of young people
- Show them how to be in control of their emotions
- Empower them to make choices that avoid conflict
Our Vision is we live in a world where young people are:
- Emotionally resilient and know how to form healthy relationships
- Confident, wise and considerate in their decision-making
- Responsible citizens who fulfil their potential
Smart Choices is driven by:
- Caring about young people’s safety, self-esteem and confidence
- Listening and responding to individual/group needs
- Avoiding ‘done to’; instead we work ‘with and for’ our young people
Even during these difficult times we are ‘open for business’. With the massive national and global response to COVID-19, we know its threat will eventually subside. With resources made even more scarce as a result, the challenge of youth violence will not have diminished.
Please note that our website is currently being redeveloped and more information about our work will be coming soon.
