Connected to Care 1:1 Youth Support Program Referral Form
Connected to Care (C2C) is designed to support young people aged 12-18 experiencing disadvantage to connect with local support services and social opportunities. Participants will link with a Support Planner who will assist the young person to identifying and address their personal challenges, connecting them to local support services to ensure they are mentally and physically healthy, safe and able to thrive. Young people also have the opportunity to participate in a range of Half Day psychosocial support and community engagement programs, through our partners Rest in Essence and EquiEnergy Youth, providing links to the community to develop social, emotional and educational skills and enhance their economic and social outcomes.
