From our Let’s Talk drop-in to our structured Violet, Violet M and Roots 2 Reset programmes, we have created a pathway to inform, empower, and rebuild.
The “Not Yet” Philosophy:
Our services are influenced by Carol Dweck's “Not Yet” growth-mindset research. Instead of viewing setbacks as failures, we see them as part of the learning journey, where skills, understanding, and positive change may not have developed yet — but with the right support, effort, and encouragement, they are likely to develop over time; This approach helps individuals to develop perseverance, resilience, confidence, healthier behaviours to make informed choices.
Our mission is to operate for the public benefit and provide accessible and affordable services to empower individuals to make informed, healthy choices that create lasting positive change in the communities where they live, learn, work, and socialise.
MISSION:
Our vision is to provide services that assist individuals in building lives free from harmful behaviours and contribute positively to their relationships and community.
VISION:
Our values are pivotal to creating safe, inclusive, non-judgmental physical and emotional support and environments. A space to learn, encourage accountability, heal, rebuild confidence, personal growth and resilience, and achieve future goals by the company maintaining its integrity, compassionate and professional service.
VALUES:
From our lived experience, we recognise that changing behaviour is challenging, but not impossible. There is no quick fix. However, we have adopted a holistic, partnership-led approach aligned with leading local and national initiatives to foster lasting change, including Violence Against Women and Girls, physical and online harm, creating safer streets, and building more resilient communities to strengthen social cohesion.
We explore the root causes of harmful behaviours, including antisocial behaviour, grooming, domestic abuse, exploitation, and organised crime. Part of the journey relies on the physical and mental well-being of victims, survivors, and perpetrators, and providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, which is particularly important for those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged due to circumstances, educational needs, or life situations. A safe space to learn trust and learn.
Using a peripatetic delivery model ensures support is inclusive and accessible to those who are at risk, are vulnerable and those who cause harm.
