Transition Support and Independence Preparation
At Okaro Care, we understand that growing into independence can be a challenging transition for young people, especially those who have experienced instability in their lives. That’s why we provide structured programs and hands-on training to help children and young people build the confidence, skills, and resilience they need to navigate adulthood successfully.
Preparing for Independent and Semi-Independent Living
Our transition support programs focus on equipping young people with the necessary tools to live independently. Whether they are moving into semi-independent accommodation, a foster home, or reuniting with family, we provide tailored guidance and practical experience to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Essential Life Skills Training
Independence is built on real-world skills, and we ensure that each young person is taught fundamental life skills to help them manage daily responsibilities. Our training includes:
- Self-care and personal hygiene – Encouraging personal well-being and healthy habits.
- Cooking and meal planning – Teaching how to prepare nutritious meals and make healthy food choices.
- Budgeting and money management – Understanding finances, saving money, and managing bills.
- Decision-making and problem-solving – Developing confidence in making responsible choices.
- Job readiness and career guidance – Supporting with CV writing, interview preparation, and employment opportunities.
Reintegration Support
For those transitioning back to family or foster care, we work closely with social workers, caregivers, and families to ensure a positive reintegration process. We provide emotional support, structured planning, and ongoing guidance to help young people rebuild relationships and settle into their new environments.
At Okaro Care, we are committed to empowering young people with independence, resilience, and confidence. Through personalized transition programs, life skills training, and emotional support, we ensure that every young person is fully prepared for the next chapter of their journey—equipped with the skills and mindset to build a successful and self-sufficient future.
