JUST ONE Philosophy

Just One’s philosophy is primarily based on the teaching of realistic life building skills, mental/physical health and utilizing available resources to assist in curbing negative life trajectories such as violence, addiction, ideologically based extremism and recidivism. We have a positive and receptive view of building/restoring relationships between the local law enforcement agencies, government offices and polarized communities through proposed multilateral programming partnerships. We feel strongly, that this particular program generates confidence, self-discipline and personal accountability as many of the One By One staff members are formers of negative lifestyles and have shared similar lived experiences with our target market. The One By One staff members have utilized and contributed tools they’ve acquired that have worked for them collectively and helped to construct the mosaic of methods of rehabilitation implemented in the Just One Strategy.  A few examples of organizations and programs that have been helpful in our personal transitions as formers implemented into the One By One, Just One philosophy;

• The wrap-around approach - One By One acting as an umbrella for all related services
  available. Our brand of this approach offers mentorship from our One By One trained staff.
• Alcoholics Anonymous AA/NA – sponsorship/mentorship
• Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) – Anger management, mood & anxiety service for children & youth, etc.
• Ontario Works (OW/ODSP) – Social Assistance & employment resourcing.
• St Christopher House Community Center – Art program.

We are also seeking to assist in qualitative & quantitative research partnerships based on the JUST ONE model of intervention, redirection and mental/physical health philosophies.

ONE BY ONE’s goal is to educate and save lives, but it begins with... Just one
