Inside Out
Inside Out is a Concern Australia program providing post-release support for young people exiting Youth Justice Centres.
Support workers help young people in their transition back into the community.
Depending on the young person's needs, support can include:
- being a significant support and relationship in their life
- assisting them with resolving difficulties with parents or families
- helping them find housing and income support
- linking them to employment, education and training opportunities
- linking them to appropriate services for help with drug and alcohol, health or mental health issues
- assisting them to develop connections to community
- supporting their search for purpose, significance and faith
Inside Out youth workers regularly visit young people in youth justice centres, building positive role-model relationships based on trust and understanding. They provide support and practical assistance that reduce the likelihood of re-offending.
Inside Out youth workers may appear in court with young people, advocate services on their behalf, come alongside during times of crisis and other events, engage with them in recreational activities, and provide access to a range of housing and support options as part of a supported caring environment.
