Our Passion Statement
At Emerging Futures, we believe that everyone has the potential to change, grow and learn and to achieve the best they can in everything they do.

- Excellent all-round communication skills and the ability to manage relationships.
- An ability to undertake accurate and comprehensive assessments of need, identifying levels of risk, recovery potential and establishing immediate and longer-term recovery goals.
- An ability to work effectively with groups using a structured planned approach.
