One-to-one support
One-to-one support
We work with our residents to improve their lives by supporting them through barriers they may have to living independently and becoming an active member of a community.
Our Personal Development is central to guiding residents through the Caritas Anchor House journey and nurturing a person’s personal development. The team work with each individual in their journey from homelessness into independent living, and look at areas relating to:
- Health and wellbeing
- Education, training and employment
- Volunteering
- Financial management
- Independent living
Support often involves:
- Providing specialist advice and emotional support
- Referring and sign-posting residents to external support services if necessary
- Encouraging residents to take part in community activities and develop positive relationships
- Partnership building with external agencies to develop further support networks for residents
- Supporting and encouraging a resident’s volunteering activity
- Supporting and encouraging a residents training and employment activity
When residents arrive at Caritas Anchor House they are assigned a Keyworker who meets with that resident on a regular basis during keyworking sessions. Within the team we have specialist support provisions for substance misuse, mental health and criminal justice, including a Substance Misuse Lead and a Mental Health Lead.
