Aim

The Lurgan Catalyst Parent aim is to support young people and those caring for them, including parents, teachers, youth, church and community workers, in committing themselves to on-going personal development and ensuring young people are empowered to make healthy choices in their lives.

Objectives

• Create a community ownership of the need to support young people to resist risk-taking behaviours through endorsement of the Catalyst Vision.
   
• Establish cooperative working relationships between all those agencies committed to the Catalyst Vision who are involved in personal development work with young people and their carers.
   
• Encourage the development and delivery of strategies and programmes that integrate all areas of risk taking behaviour based on a personal development model and consistent with the Catalyst Vision. This may include programmes for young people, parents and carers, teachers, church workers, youth and community leaders.
