Programs1:1 Grounding & Direction1:1 Grounding & Direction
About This Program
A focused sixty to ninety minute coaching and counselling style session designed to understand where a young person is currently at emotionally, mentally, socially, and directionally.
This session gives outreach organisations, parents, and support teams a clear professional understanding of the young person's current challenges, strengths, barriers, and needs. It is ideal for disengaged youth, young people experiencing anxiety or depression, neurodiverse youth, and individuals who require targeted support to re engage with education, employment, or life direction.
The facilitator works directly with the young person to build rapport, assess their current state, explore underlying issues, and identify practical next steps. This creates a grounded and accurate picture of the young person's situation, allowing outreach organisations and families to support them more effectively.
This session also forms the foundation of the Refer a Young Person pathway, ensuring referrals are based on real insight rather than guesswork.
