The provision of individual support is a cornerstone of our services, recognising that each person’s needs are unique and require personalised attention. Here’s a detailed expansion on the different types of individual support we offer:

1. Tailored Individual Support: This type of support is specifically designed for individuals experiencing difficulties within their home environment. Our team works directly with the young person, providing them with targeted assistance separate from parental involvement. This core offering focuses on providing individuals with dedicated time away from challenging home situations. Our community-based activities, accompanied by one-on-one support, cater to the individual’s preferences and goals, fostering personal growth and empowerment. By focusing on the individual’s needs, we aim to address their challenges effectively and promote their well-being.
2. Outings and Activities: We understand the importance of providing young people with opportunities to engage in meaningful activities outside their home environment. Our staff accompany them on outings, allowing them to enjoy recreational activities and have a break from household stressors. These activities are not only enjoyable but also serve as avenues for skill development and personal growth.
3. Activity Support in the Community: For individuals whose activities in the community raise concerns, we offer support tailored to their needs. This involves engaging them in constructive activities while discussing future options such as employment or further education. By providing guidance and encouragement, we empower young people to explore their potential and pursue positive pathways.
4. Respite Support from Care Settings: We collaborate with care settings to provide respite support for young people with challenging behaviours. By taking them out for community-based activities, we offer both the individual and their primary caregiver a much-needed break. This not only fosters the individual’s well-being but also helps caregivers recharge and refocus.
5. Contact Support for Families in Care: We facilitate structured visits for families and individuals in care, either at designated centers or in the wider community. By enabling meaningful interactions and activities, we support healthy family connections and emotional well-being.
6. Activity Holidays: Our program includes opportunities for young people to participate in activity-based breaks away from their usual environment. These experiences, ranging from weekend getaways to midweek excursions, expose them to new activities like fishing, go-karting, or bowling, promoting physical and social engagement.
7. Additional Support in Care Settings: We provide assistance within foster care, care homes, and hostels, offering relief to regular staff members and introducing a change of environment and activities for young people. This promotes a calmer atmosphere and enhances the overall well-being of Individuals.
8. Transition Support for Care Leavers: Finally, we offer guidance and structure to young people transitioning from care settings back to their family home or independent living. Recognising the challenges of this process, our staff provide invaluable support to facilitate a successful transition and empower individuals to navigate this significant life change.

Through these comprehensive support services, we strive to meet the diverse needs of individuals, promoting their well-being, independence, and overall quality of life.
