Guiding Principles

We believe in a world where young people have access to the help they need, so they know they’re not alone. Always. All. Ways.

We make a difference by building genuine relationships that are founded on the following guiding principles:

Guiding Principle BG

Empathy

We make a difference by having EMPATHY

We take responsibility, respectfully challenge the status quo, strive to have the difficult conversations and ask for what we need.

Honesty

We make a difference with HONESTY
We earn trust by communicating directly, respectfully and fairly. We do the right thing with accountability and integrity. 

Safety

We make a difference by providing SAFETY

We operate proactively in safety critical environments, following Child Safe Standards. We won’t compromise on laws, rules or principles that are meant to keep people safe.
