Full Circle - support for care leavers


If you are a care leaver, we may be able to help you develop coping skills and strategies and make sense of your life experiences.

Support we can offer

We work with your Young People's adviser (YPA) to help support their understanding around the impact your childhood experiences have had and how it can affect you. This will help them identify what actions, support or services may be most helpful for you.

If they identify that life process work could help you, we may be able to work directly with you. The first thing we will do is assess your needs, working with you and your YPA. 

What people say about us

  • "The work with Full Circle has helped loads....some of the work was about understanding the brain and feelings etc. and how to deal with things in a more positive way so it has been really helpful...things are making sense and I understand things (experiences) more."

  • "I'd like to thank you for all your help...it's much appreciated."
