About the program

Reboot provides mentoring, case management and practical support for  things like housing, education and goal-setting for young people as they exit youth detention.

Coming home from detention can feel overwhelming, and without support young people can fall back into cycles of recidivism.

Our Youth Specialists begin working with the young person and their family prior to exit to ensure that they have an established network of family, community and specialist supports as soon as they exit.

This program includes

We develop collaborative case plans which support the young person to reduce contact with the justice system and re-engage with education and/or employment, our ongoing supports including:
Collaboratively setting goals and safety planning to build confidence, independence and address any underlying issues
Coordination of services to ensure the young person has access to any necessary specialist supports
Practical supports to improve their safety and wellbeing at home
Mentoring and skill building to build longer term self-efficacy and confidence
Advocacy within their local community to support their re-engagement with education and/or employment and connection to services.
“I think that I've changed as a person, in the way that I'm not into the crime anymore. I'm learning to just be a better person.
