Aftercare Service
My Pathways Community Aftercare Service, based at Teach na nDaoine FRC, works to support the health & wellbeing of all care experienced members of the community by offering support and advice in many aspects of their lives.
My Pathways Community Aftercare Service
As part of the My Pathways Programme, our aftercare worker, begins working with young people in the care of Tusla, Child and Family agency, before they turn 18 years of age, helping them to prepare for the important, but often unsettling, transition to independence. By working closely together, our aftercare worker and the care leaver create an aftercare plan; this aftercare plan identifies the personal goals of each care leaver, and the skills assessment process identifies the strengths and skills which will help them achieve these goals. If support is needed in particular areas, our aftercare worker is available to advise, as well as assist the care leaver to make links with other professionals.
Our Aftercare Worker can support with:
-
Education
-
Training and employment
-
Accommodation
-
Finance and budgeting
-
Social networking
-
Referrals and signposting to other services, such as counselling, Social Prescribing Service etc.
