How we help our young people

Semi-Independent Housing Support

We provide young people with shared living experiences, and also offer solo training flat experiences to prepare them for independent living.

Counselling and Therapy

We offer counseling support and a variety of therapies to help care leavers and those young people that are looked after, to overcome difficulties they have experienced, and to support them to develop their self-confidence and self-esteem to live sustainable lives.

Lifelong Support

Our support and guidance does not end when our young people transition into adulthood. We continue to provide support and counselling to those that have been provided a service.

Services offered are based on an assessment of the young person’s needs.

We aim to ensure young people are able to develop and maintain respect, self-reliance and self-care skills and enable them to make informed, age-appropriate decisions, concerning their present and future so they can achieve a successful transition into independence and adulthood.

Our support plans consist of:

Mental and physical health service support

Preparation for independent living

Life skills training

Finding and joining leisure activities

Accessing local organisations

Work experience

Education and training

Job preparation

Guiding and assisting young people to live sustainable lives

We provide structure, support and guidance accompanied by emotional warmth and strong relationships, allowing our service users to grow and develop in a safe ‘family’ environment.
