Key Features of Our Supported Living Service
Tailored Support Plans
Each young person is unique, which is why we develop a personalised support plan tailored to their needs. We work closely with each individual to set goals and identify the areas where support is needed, such as budgeting, cooking, or emotional well-being. Our team provides the guidance necessary to achieve these goals, ensuring that every young person feels empowered to take control of their life.
Independent Living Skills
We focus on helping young people develop the practical skills needed to live independently. This includes everything from cooking and cleaning to managing finances, handling personal health, and maintaining a healthy routine. Our programme encourages self-sufficiency and confidence, ensuring that every young person is prepared to take on the responsibilities of independent living.
Emotional and Mental Health Support
Transitioning to independent living can be an emotional journey, which is why we offer dedicated emotional and mental health support. We provide regular one-on-one support sessions with trained professionals to help young people manage stress, anxiety, and any other emotional challenges they may face. This support ensures that they have the tools to navigate challenges and maintain good mental health as they step into adulthood.
Community Integration and Social Skills
At Welcare, we believe in the importance of building strong community connections. Our Supported Living service encourages young people to engage with their local community, build friendships, and develop social skills. We provide opportunities for social interaction, from community events to volunteering, ensuring that each individual feels connected and supported as they transition into the world outside the children’s home.
