HAY! Key Themes
AY (adolescent and young people) Strengths
We recognize that AYs have unique and important talents and qualities they contribute to communities. HAY! promotes positive communication and strengthened relationships with AYs, understanding developmental stages, and AY achievement recognition.
AY Friendliness
HAY! creates accessible, safe, and welcoming spaces, environments, and services for all AYs. ‘Friendliness’ serves as an important entry point for respectful care, privacy, confidentiality, non-judgement, and equity.
Everyoneness
HAY! stimulates collective momentum towards shared goals and recognizes that every individual in a community plays a key role in their AYs reaching maximum potential.
