"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." - WHO
Options provides holistic care and services to all individuals aged 25 and under, without judgement or discrimination; while modelling the example of Jesus; abounding in compassion, empathy, grace, and hope. Our services are custom-tailored and client-led, therefore, clients may tap into one or all of our holistic supports touching on these areas:
physical
Physical health increases as youth are familiarized and become comfortable with accessing medical care, as they take responsibility for their health and the health of their partner(s) and children, and as they are integrated into primary health care systems.
mental
Mental health increases as youth are encouraged to explore their circumstances, to recognize their own strength, to develop their support systems, and as they are equipped, to navigate life’s challenges.
INTELLECTUAL
Intellectual health increases as youth are exposed to concepts and systems around relational, familial and sexual health, and the potential impacts their choices and pursuit of learning can have on themselves and others.
emotional
Emotional health increases as youth are equipped with tools that give them greater autonomy over their circumstances, the ability to constructively explore their emotions, and the creative capacity to realize their personal goals and aspirations.
social
Relational health increases as youth learn to value themselves and others, and are encouraged to take time for investment in deeper relational connection.
spiritual
Spiritual health increases as youth are provided opportunities for greater self-awareness and the development of supportive practices that can help them in their current situations and future life.
