- R.U.S.H. will fulfill its principal aim through the application of healing and experiential based activities specifically designed to develop self-awareness, healing, self-esteem, team building skills, living and vocational skills of young people.
- To have long-term, positive change in the health, attitudes and skills of youth involved in R.U.S.H programs that are both demonstrable, specific and measurable.
- To make R.U.S.H programs, in the short term available in the Hunter, State Wide to Youth Support Schemes and Agencies; and in the long term Australia-Wide.
- To offer a range of two day monthly run complimentary therapy programs such as Dolphin Assisted Therapy and long term recreational, environmental, artistic, cultural, musically and creative programs consistent with the fulfillment of our aims and that are in direct relationship to the needs of our clients.
- To have R.U.S.H be financially self-sufficient through appropriate fund-raising, strategic network partnerships and sponsorship in order to fulfill its aims.
- To apply sound complimentary therapy techniques, professional psychological and behavioral change management techniques were appropriate. R.U.S.H.
