Supported lodgings young people's guide
7. Moving on
We will do our best to give you all the support that you need to make your next steps to independence positive and something to really look forward to. This is a big step, and there will be a variety of people involved in helping you to plan and prepare for this. The preparation will begin at least 6 months beforehand your review meeting and discussed with you and the other professionals involved in your support.
Our job is to make sure that you have learned all the skills you need and are confident to live independently. The things that you have learned during your time with us should have prepared you to take care of your own needs with managing your money, food preparation, maintaining your home, looking after your health needs and managing relationships to keep yourself safe.
All of the sessions that we provide here at Gateshead supported lodgings service will be helping you to build up those skills and gain confidence.
