Reconnect provides confidential support to families to try and help young people to stay at home until they have the necessary skills to become independent. Reconnect helps young people who are homeless and those at risk of homelessness to become more involved with their family, work, education, training and the community through mediation, counselling and practical support for the whole family.
Reconnect works closely with other local services to provide help in a way that is sensitive to your family's needs and those of your community.
