Out There: Life After Care 🎙️
In this short conversation, we explore the challenges and difficulties of stepping into adulthood and the support that's out there to help. From managing money and building self-esteem, to finding your feet in shared accommodation, working life, and building healthy friendships. With honest conversations and practical tips, we’re here to help you feel confident navigating life, socialising, self-care, and seeking new opportunities.
