The Mission Statement of New Beginnings (Essex County) is approved by the Membership of the Corporation. (Article 18 of By-laws)
As an integral part of the Strategic Planning/Review Process, with consultation with all concerned, the Mission is subjected to scrutiny on an annual basis and probable revision at least every five (5) years.
A Statement of Philosophy has received consensus:
"Adolescence is a difficult time of adjustment and change for the healthiest of youth; one of the elements which can greatly affect this developmental process is the support provided by a stable environment."
New Beginnings provides our youth the opportunity to make positive adjustments through this period and helps him/her to explore positive lifestyle changes.
In intended consonance with this philosophy, the Members approved the following Mission Statement
"The Mission of New Beginnings is to provide young people with a structured rehabilitation program of residential services, counselling, support, supervision and aftercare. New Beginnings emphasizes the accountability of the individual to society, and provides the community with a focus for self-mobilization and an opportunity to share their responsibility by supporting and participating in the efforts of New Beginnings. This program is delivered by a skilled and competent staff."
