Young people can expect support with their mental health, sexual health, risk taking, weight management and relationships as well as support around housing or financial inclusion. The nursing team also provides comprehensive “wrap around” support out with service delivery times to address the wider issues that impact on young people’s health and wellbeing, liaising and referring onwards to secure the right support such as mentoring, advocacy or employability. As part of the care plan for a young person, where required, support for parents will be also be sourced to ensure best outcomes for the family overall.
