Targeted Health Outreach 1:1 Support

Service details

Who are we? 

Targeted Health Outreach (THO) runs services for young people who have additional needs e.g. Learning Disabilities, autistic spectrum condition (ASC) including Aspergers, neurodiversity, or those with physical disabilities.  

THO specifically works with those who have no input from social work services (or whose level of need means they are ineligible for a children’s or adult social worker). 

  • are aged 14 to 19
  • have special educational needs (SEN) or a disability
  • would like some support around developing their independence and improving their health and well-being

What is Targeted Health Outreach 1:1 Support?

A Targeted Health Outreach worker can support individuals to plan for their future and feel more in control of their emotional and physical health and well-being.

Some young people may need a period of working closely with an Outreach Worker to build up their trust and confidence and we would also use that time to develop a person-centred plan to support the young person. 

1:1 support is initially an offer of six 1:1 sessions with a support worker from the team and an opportunity to review.

Support to transition to adult life.

1:1 support can be used to prepare individuals for transition to college, work, or further education. This can include visiting possible Post-16 education or training providers and travel training support to and from the venues.

We can also support transitioning to adult life. This means we can review your needs with you and make suggestions and where appropriate referrals to other services. For example, with prior consent from you, we might refer young people to Hackney’s Integrated Learning Disabilities Service (ILDS).
