HOOTS Core Values

• Youth empowerment: We believe our role in working with youth is to provide support, tools and resources to help them draw on their own strengths and support systems to take charge of their situation and move forward in their lives.
• Community: We engage in community building and community care within schools, as well as connecting youth to resources and opportunities in the wider community outside of their schools.
• Humanism: Emphasizing the value and goodness of all humans and choosing to hold all our clients in unconditional positive regard: accepting and supporting them no matter their behavior.
• Client-centered: Approaching our clients with the understanding that they are the experts of their own lives, and they know best what is required to meet their needs. We endeavor to understand our clients’ situations from their point of view: we do not pose judgment on their behavior or beliefs, nor inflict help that they have not welcomed.
• Harm reduction: We utilize practical strategies to reduce potential harm from substance use and risky behaviors, approaching such topics without judgement and with the aim to educate and support clients in taking steps towards safer behaviors on their own terms.
• Safety and Belonging: We believe that a sense of safety in schools is fostered by feelings of belonging and connection. As such, we favor restorative justice approaches over punitive measures and zero tolerance policies.
• Anti-oppression: Acknowledging the intersecting systems of oppression and privilege we all exist within and contribute to, we strive to center marginalized narratives and are committed to working towards the deconstruction of systemic oppression in the institutions we are a part of.
