Our Services
Our services address physical needs, addictions, mental health and behavioural problems, reintegration following release from prison, life skills, and housing.
We work with a holistic approach, walking alongside each individual supporting them to overcome barriers in reaching their goals, including securing long-term sustainable housing.
Hosuing Support
Following entry to our accommodation, our Housing Navigation team will complete an assessment which will help ascertain what the barriers are to finding and maintaining a stable home. They will then work with the guests to help attend to those barriers and facilitate the process of securing sustainable housing.
Support Work
We have 24/7 support available for our guests. Our support workers are a first point of contact within our service and are there to provide a listening ear and/or company.
Social Work
Our social workers provide practical and therapeutic support, helping our guests understand their challenges in a gentle and supportive way. If needed, they guide guests in accessing additional services. Through a comprehensive assessment, social workers help guests create a personal narrative, identify their hopes and goals, and map a path to achieve them.
