Family, Friends and Young Persons Supporter

Family and Friends
Everyone wants to enjoy good relationships with family and
friends. However, this is not always possible. If you
are experiencing family difficulties you can talk to your worker
about this.
Young parents can ask for help in accessing appropriate supports
and information on all aspects of parenting, and in Throughcare, we
have good working relationships with people and teams who work for
health who are very experienced in working with mums-to-be as well
as young mums and dads.
Throughcare and Aftercare cannot provide a direct service to
infants and young children. However, we support young parents
in all Throughcare and Aftercare issues.
At Throughcare and Aftercare, you will have the opportunity to meet
young people who have experiences similar to your own. This
can provide you with additional friends and supports.
Young Person Supporter
Some young people need a person who can ensure that their voice
is heard as well as providing support and guidance. Some
meetings can be daunting and discussing the future may be difficult
and stressful. In such circumstances having someone you know
and trust available can allow you to ensure that we as a service
hear what it is you want and when.
We ask that all young people bring a supporter to Throughcare, and
if you can't think of anyone you want, we can help appoint one for
you. The only thing we ask is that we as a service are
satisfied that whoever you choose as a support is capable of
performing the role of a supporter.
