A framework that looks at nurturing every aspect of a young person's being. The goal is to integrate these aspects seamlessly, recognizing that each dimension contributes to a young person's overall spiritual growth and maturity. By addressing the physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and rest/play needs of youth, leaders can guide them toward becoming holistic in their faith and thus equip them to navigate life's challenges with resilience and faith.
