Support young people who may have experienced complex trauma and have multiple support needs, including poor mental health, offending and substance misuse.

Help young people develop positive social networks and the skills needed to maintain their accommodation and independence.

Support young people in their recovery away from the streets, helping them build resilience and develop their capabilities.
