Support and accommodation

Support offered

All young people work with a named key worker. Support is available 24/7. The key-worker will support the young person to move into their own home, helping the person to identify what they need to do to achieve this. Run a counselling and mediation service. Have a home and health service, this worker allows us to continue supporting the people once they have left supported accommodation and are living in their own homes. The whole organisation is committed to working towards a PIE framework using a TIC approach. Staff support young people with benefits, employment, training and education.
