When a young person is referred to our service a Home and Living Outcomes Plan is collaboratively prepared with the young person, the Department of Child Safety and other key stakeholders (i.e family if appropriate), providing the opportunity to identify, voice and outline their home and living needs, goals and outcomes, helping them to plan with optimism, build capacity, have a sense of belonging, purpose and wellbeing and achieve their potential.
The plan provides a guide to the young person, Karakan and their supports and is regularly reviewed, adapted, and evolved with the young person and their stakeholders to help them identify, celebrate and evaluate their progress, needs, challenges, strengths and areas of ongoing focus and growth.
Wherever possible the young person’s family will be engaged in the development, ongoing establishment and review of the Home and Living Outcomes Plan as this is consistent with applying a holistic, recovery-oriented and capacity building approach to planning and supports.
