A Safe Home
The physical and psychological security of a child is the foundation for recovery and restoration and a manifestation of our emphasis on humane education, nurture and learning. We do not seek just an appearance of a safe place, we seek the reality of safety for all the people and animals who live and work in our organization.

A Safe and Well-Informed Community
The Hand Up Homes for Youth organization is linked to every aspect of community life. Our attitude and approach have been clearly demonstrated in our actions: a willingness to support local communities in appropriately managing and treating its local population of special needs and at-risk youth. We are woven into the fabric of each community consisting of the public agencies, our colleagues in the private sector, our staff members who do the important work everyday, our clients, and their families.

Stewardship
The professionals at Hand Up Homes for Youth are conscientious stewards of the resources afforded for the care and recovery of the young people we serve. We also hold in high regard the land we live and work on and the quality of life we engender in our treatment settings. In the appropriate location, a highly qualified treatment center will in no way diminish the value of surrounding open space, neighborhood property, businesses, wildlife habitat, and natural resources. We are good neighbors and a part of our community.

Superior Services
Hand Up Homes for Youth is a thriving enterprise that employs the most excellent providers of care in the industry. We adhere to the national standards of care identified by the National Adolescent Perpetrator Network (NAPN) and the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA). We are a flexible and open-handed agency dedicated to community cooperation, teamwork, and collegial professionalism.
