Combating Exploitation and Vulnerability in 16-25 Year-Olds

Thodaska Care: Combating Exploitation and Vulnerability in 16-25 Year-Olds

At Thodaska Care, our mission is clear: to provide supported accommodation for Looked After Children and Care Leavers, aged 16-25, with the aim of preventing homelessness and protecting them from exploitation. We believe in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where every young person can thrive, and our commitment to this cause is unwavering.

Understanding the Vulnerability

The transition from adolescence to adulthood can be a challenging period for any young person. However, for Looked After Children and Care Leavers, this transition can be exceptionally daunting. These vulnerable youth have often faced adverse circumstances, including abuse or neglect, which led to their entry into the care system. This background of adversity can leave them exposed to exploitation, homelessness, and a lack of support in their journey to independence.

Thodaska Care's Protective Shield

Thodaska Care stands as a protective shield for these young individuals. We provide supported accommodation that offers a safe and nurturing environment, emphasizing the following key principles:

1. Holistic Support

Our approach goes beyond just providing a roof over their heads. We prioritize the overall well-being of our residents. This includes emotional support, health and well-being services, and access to mental health resources.

2. Prevention of Homelessness

One of our primary goals is to prevent homelessness among young people who age out of the care system. Through transitional housing and life skills training, we equip them with the tools they need to maintain stable and secure housing.

3. Building a Supportive Community

We believe in the power of community. Thodaska Care creates a supportive and inclusive environment where residents can connect with their peers, share experiences, and build a network of people who understand and care about their well-being.

4. Partnerships and Resources

We collaborate with local organizations, educational institutions, and community partners to provide a wide range of opportunities and resources, including educational support and job placement assistance.

Success Stories

Thodaska Care's impact can be best illustrated through the success stories of the young people we've supported. Many of our residents have gone on to achieve academic success, secure stable employment, and, most importantly, break the cycle of homelessness.
