Who will be befriended?
Young people between the age of 5 - 18 who are experiencing problems at home, school or in the community.
Young people are usually referred by social work, schools, educational psychologists, health professionals, community police, local community organisations or self refer.
Young people will be placed on the waiting list on submission of a referral form.
The outcomes we hope to achieve are:-
- Improve self confidence
- Growth of self esteem
- Improve relationships with family and friends
- Improve attendance at school
- Increase social activity in the community
- Improve quality of life
If you wish to make a referral please call the Project Manager Alana Taylor in the first instance to check that the young person meets the criteria.
