Shok Start is about basic philosophy and human potential that can underpin youth and adult facilitation. These principles and affirmations add value during the phases of practice when conducting group or individual work with the targeted client cohort. The mantra "Shok Start Ignite the passion within" reinforces that through careful mentoring, one can unearth their innate passion, develop a sense of ability, and drive it in a positive direction—accounting for any perceived or unperceived challenges. This can be employed in any engagement activity with an emphasis on play and mutual respect. The
client group that this facility can provide services to includes young people and adults at risk of disengagement from home, school, and community due to barriers like low self-esteem, bullying, victimisation, anger issues, lack of motivation, and risky behavior. An example of a Shok Start facility could be a partnership with an NGO to facilitate a young men's group or provide a series of engagement activities for young people who may be anxious about their transition to high school. The focus here may be to address self-awareness around assertive behavior, the ability to be accepted in a new environment, self-management of fear, and social cues, including assertive body language.
