The Whole Person Approach
Presented by The Reciprocity Foundationwww.reciprocityfoundation.org
The Homeless System Works for Some, Not All
Invisible homeless, Chronic homeless, hidden abuse, undiagnosed illnesses
The System is Too Large to Completely Overhaul
Youth go from street outreach to crisis to TLP to… lesser dependence
Full independence is still very rare
What can we do? Innovate within the System
Reciprocity is a 6-year experiment in creating entirely different solutions
No boundaries on what is possible
Reciprocity Principle #1Work with the Whole PersonEmotional, intellectual, spiritual,
physical, material needs must all be addressed for youth to transform
Reciprocity Principle #2Work from the Inside Out
Help youth tap into their inner wisdomTransformation from within
Reciprocity Principle #3Growth is Client Led
Clients determine journeyReadiness is everything
Is this Really New?Usually Donors set agenda, not youthTypically work on external issues,
internal lags or excludedSupport is contingent
