RESIDENTIAL CARE SERVICES

The residential Service was developed at the end of 2000. Over the years we have successfully cared for and supported many young people to achieve positive change.

Our children Home, Nailah House, provide 24hr care and support to young women age 14 years old and upwards. Extending our support to young people ‘looked after’, Janailah also provides an Outreach Service to young people 16+ living independently in the community (currently under review).

Outreach Service/ Supported Housing

Janailah offers supported housing and an outreach service to young people living independently as they prepare to leave local authority care. The young people are offered practical and emotional support to enable them to cope alone and live independently. Work here includes weekly contact and some groupwork (as appropriate) Young people work to the same objectives as the young people supported in the residential home.

Young people are prepared for independence by enabling them to achieve the following opportunity to:

• Practice managing their day today living.
• Build positive relationships.
• Develop Self-management Skills
• Develop skills to live independently

Accommodation is provided through independent accomodation in the community.

Education and job training is a key feature in our work with young people. Links are maintained with local schools, colleges and other learning and employment training agencies.

NB: Outreach support can also be provided to young people not living in accommodation provided by Janailah.
