Services

Throughcare

Throughcare is the on-going preparation and support for young people who have been looked after and may soon be making the transition to live more independently.

Aftercare

This is the continuing support, planning and guidance for a young person who has left care or a supported living environment.

It can mean supporting young people in practical matters such as setting up home, budgeting skills, seeking employment, continuing education and can offer encouragement for developing their own social networks and interpersonal skills.

Throughcare and Aftercare Duty Service

The Throughcare and Aftercare Duty Service is held every Wednesday from 9.30am to 12.00 midday. Service users can use this time to meet with a worker to gain assistance or guidance with anything from completing forms to housing problems, finances and health issues.

Supported Lodgings Project

The Supported Lodgings Project aims to provide young people with the opportunity to move out of care into a supportive environment, in preparation for moving onto independent living. Accommodation would be offered for varying periods of time, dependant on the young person’s needs and progress. During these placements both the provider and the young person will continue to be supported by workers from the Moray Aftercare Service.
