mental health problems and some will have been in residental
care. |

What can
it Provide?
Our projects provide access to a safe environment for
young people to explore and examine their lifestyles
and options and begin to take control over their own
life. Our services provide varying levels of support
dependent on individual needs both in the long and the
short term. Projects offer individual support and counselling
and opportunities for communal activities and groupwork.
Comprehensive assessment of needs is available linked
to the involvement of all other relevant services and
supports and through care planning. |

How can I Request these
Services?
Our services can be accessed by contacting the Project
Manager directly for information, or by contacting the
Social Work Department and requesting an assessment
of needs. The Social Work Department will undertake
an assessment to determine and establish suitability. |

Is there a
Charge?
There is a charge. The charge will vary from
centre to centre. The Social Work Department will meet
most of the cost and clients are required to make a
contribution. This will be fully explained by the Manager
prior to a placement being offered. |

How Long Will
I Have to Wait?
This is dependent on various factors. For example the
project may have no vacanices. If the project does have
a vacancy then as soon as the social worker involved
carries out the various assessments and you are happy
to move into the project, then you can do so. |
