Thank you for a great webinar. I was interested in the Housing First Principles, and was struck by the similarities to the Signs of Safety model of working, that is adopted by various Children's Services, when supporting young people. There were many many similarities in the two approaches when supporting vulnerable young people that have experienced trauma in some form. Such as, firstly, relationship based practice, person centered work, where the young person is central to all decisions, flexible holistic support, (thinking "outside the box", as previous interventions often have not been successful) drawing together many support agencies and organizations, to build sustainable change. A strength based approach, improved access to all services, especially mental health services, and great importance placed on allowing time to build a trusting relationship with the young people , to best understand their needs and enable positive change, moving forward. Thank you every one, I look forward to the next meeting.
