Young People Services
At SMV we support young people aged between 16 and 25 by encouraging them to focus on their strengths and build positive support networks to achieve their aspirations, whether that is returning to education, finding meaningful work or making new friendships. Our services specialise in supporting young people facing homelessness, including those who are:
- Care leavers or looked after children (over 16)
- Overcoming addiction
- Young parents
- Experiencing family or relationship breakdown
All support is tailored to each person's individual needs, through a structured care and support plan, which uses the Young Person's Star model to encourage each person to take control of their lives and work towards achieving their personal goals. Support is focused on eight areas: Accommodation, Work and learning, People and support, Health, How you feel, Choices and behaviour, Money and rent and Practical life skills.
