Streetwork Australia LimitedRegistered

At Streetwork we support vulnerable young people in the community to turn their lives around through Assertive Outreach activities, Kickstart Mentoring, and the (police) Advocacy programs. For these young people they can be shut out from a close adult role model, the 12 to 18 year olds referred to our program struggle with mental health (often suicidal thoughts and selfharm), alcohol and substance misuse, social isolation, school or work absenteeism, youth crime, and youth homelessness. Our mentoring model combines case management with a youthcentred approach. Youth Case Management is about assessing, coordinating, monitoring and evaluating a young person s improved outcomes and experiences. Our youth caseworkers do this by: 1. Building trust nurturing open conversations. 2. Empowering young people partnering with them to set and achieve their life goals that they care about. 3. Accessing specialist youth services introducing and supporting young people to access the specialist services they need to address the risk factors impacting them. 4. Using evidencebased strategies our theory of change ensures we work collaboratively with young people to achieve the best outcomes possible so they can thrive. 5. A commitment to service improvement we engage with Huber Social to evaluate our program to ensure we are using data to improve our program and the way we deliver service.
