Youth reunited

The Youth Reconciliation program offers one-to-one counselling and support so that young people can establish and maintain constructive relationships with family and broader support networks.

The program assists young people to:

  • avoid entering into a cycle of homelessness as a result of family conflict
  • achieve self-reliance, stability and interdependence
  • engage in better communication and problem solving
  • work through personal issues such as anger, separation, grief and loss, and explore options for positive change
  • develop ways to positively resolve conflict, formulate the means to strengthen relationships, and build confidence in reaching their goals and furthering their potential

What does the program offer?

  • One-on-one and family counselling support that is confidential, free, voluntary, short term and solution focused
  • Living skills workshops that are designed to promote personal growth, responsibility and self management
  • Community Development in the form of networking, presentations, workshops, and provision of information related to homelessness, early intervention and prevention
  • Mediation and facilitation of family meetings that support young people to re-establish contact with family, and/or to maintain and strengthen significant relationships
  • Secondary Consultation and team support for Hope Street staff to ensure an holistic approach to service delivery

  • 16 - 25 years of age—priority will be given to those 19 years and under
