Our supported accommodation model is flexible and bespoke. Services are developed in response to individual and local need, so no one service looks exactly the same. Support may be time-limited or longer term depending on the person, their goals and the level of support required.
Our accommodation services can support adults with mental health needs and additional needs, including dual diagnosis, learning disabilities, autism, neurodiversity, forensic history and complex emotional needs. We also support younger adults moving from children’s to adult services, including people with trauma backgrounds and those linked to transforming care pathways.
Support Available in Our Accommodation Services
People using Venture People’s supported accommodation can access core support and one-to-one support, shaped around their individual plan. This can include support with meaningful daytime activities, learning, employment, creative or leisure pursuits, community inclusion, wellbeing, coping strategies, daily living skills, finance management, budgeting and building independence.
Responsive support is also available within our accommodation services, helping people feel supported while continuing to develop confidence, stability and independence.
