Young People

We offer Supported living for 16+ & also for mental health, learning disability & autism.

Our support is person-centred, enabling each young person to grow and develop their skills and independence, ready for adulthood. In particular, we can support young people who have learning disabilities, autism, behaviours that challenge or other complex needs to live safely and as independently as possible.

Benefits of supported living for young people

Supported living allows young people to remain in or return to their own communities, close to family and friends, and able to continue using local facilities and services.
It allows young people to become more confident and independent, leading to greater self-esteem. We use Positive Behaviour Support to meet the needs of young people with behaviours that challenge, leading to better quality of life.
Supported living also helps young people meet a full range of other outcomes, including a more active social life, improved daily living skills, and access to education and employment.

Support model

We involve the young person and those who know them well in the design and delivery of their support, and place each young person at the centre of decision-making.
We use Person-Centred Active Support so that each individual is actively encouraged and enabled to take part in activities and is able to grow and develop their skills and independence.
Robust support plans are outcome-focused so that people progress to meet their short, medium and longer term goals. Young people benefit from a Key Worker who regularly reviews their support.
We adapt support to each young person’s daily activities, be that school, college, training or employment. We can provide additional support in the mornings, evenings and at weekends to enable each person to lead a full and varied life.
