The Life and Living Skills group program occurs at various times throughout the year and generally for a period of 6-7 weeks. During this time, the program will run one day per week for approximately 2 hours and will be based in a fun and relaxed space within a local community centre. The program is run in small groups where you can build upon your independent living skills while meeting other young people and making new friends. Come and join our next group program where you’ll be supported to achieve your goals, connect with support services and access resources and opportunities. Food, games and prizes are all included!
Attendance to this group program will depend on when the program is next scheduled for and limited spots are available. If you’re interested to know upcoming dates or have any further questions, please contact our Community Youth Coach on (03) 8552 2222 or email communitycoach@moira.org.au.
One-on-one coaching provides individualised support to young people to build confidence and develop independent living skills. Support is usually provided over a period of 6 weeks, where you will be linked in with Your Journey’s Life and Living Skills Youth Worker who will meet with you on a weekly basis. Location and times of coaching can be flexible, including within the comfort of your own home, or at an alternate location within the local community. The support offered will be tailored to your personalised goals and the skills that you’ve identified that you would like to develop further.
