WHAT WE DO?
Seeking medical care / Meal Planning
We support young people to plan their groceries and meals, discuss about which items belong in a cabinet, and which go in the fridge or freezer. We encourage young people to practice cooking simple but nutritious meals together to keep themselves healthy. Moreover, we discuss safe food preparation for young people to have the ability to prepare and store food safely as this is key to their health. Young people will need to know how to plan meals in advance and how to shop for groceries. This includes buying items that will last a few days or longer. It also includes knowing which foods can’t be stored for very long.
Knowing when to seek medical care and how and when to take medication is essential. Young people will be taught how to observe herself and identify if something might be off and needs to be addressed. Support young people to access community resources safely. Support in taking the train or bus if requested.
Education & Training
We offer support with CV writing, provide Independent Living Skills sessions and find courses and/or internships and apprenticeships that best suit young people's interests.
To reduce levels of stress, young people will be supported in finding healthy hobbies and leisure activities both within placement and outside in the community.
Duty of Care
It is our responsibility to provide a safe environment with opportunities to learn. Our qualified staff members are here to ensure that young people are being placed in an environment that promotes their development. We use principles of social learning in our placements to learn from each other and thrive.
You are the community
Young people are encouraged to take a pro-active stance to life and participate in their community. This is done through our support to enrol in education and training and being involved in local activities. We work closely with youth offending teams and local authorities to ensure young people are not engaging in anti-social or offending behaviour and have up to date care plans that promote positive outcomes.
Budgeting Skills
We will be working together to make a list of expenses that young people will have when living away from home. This includes rent, bills, food, medicine, personal items and recreational activities. Highlight the things they have to pay for on a regular basis, so young people can budget accordingly. Figure out what the consequences will be if young people overspends, and make sure young is aware of aware of them.
