How Does It Work?
The interventions and work completed with young people centre on participants own driven goals, and support is provided to meet both practical and holistic needs. Time is taken to understand that participants are more than just their offending behaviour – we seek to understand the ‘real’ person’s goals, support them in taking responsibility for their actions, and find what really motivates them to move towards a pro-social future.
Interventions are flexible and of a wide variety, from supporting young people in sourcing and accessing Education and Training opportunities, to providing them with opportunities to give back to the community through creative social action. Participants meet with their Real Me Practitioner’s at times, dates, and frequencies that work best for them – the non-statutory nature of support means we can work alongside statutory services, but work outside the box in our approach.
