Transition Support Service for rangatahi

Call our free helpline and chat to one of our friendly youth workers. We’re here to listen and help you. No worries if you decide it’s not for you, but if you do, here’s some stuff we can help out with.
 
We can support you:

• finding a place to live
• getting your driver’s licence
• finding a job
• getting legal advice
• getting counselling
• enrolling in a training course
• getting food.

We may be able to provide some financial assistance when things get tough. Give us a call on 0800 55 89 89 to see how we can help.

Getting help from our Transition Support Service won’t affect any other services you use or benefits you receive.

If you are 18, and don’t feel ready to leave your current home, it’s possible you can stay with your caregiver up to the age of 21.

If your caregiver is keen, that’s something we can help you with.

Give us a call on 0800 55 89 89 and we’ll help you stay where you want to be.

Step 1.  Call us on 0800 55 89 89 to chat about how we can support you.

Step 2.  You’ll get all the help and support you need to stay where you want to be.

Step 3.  Give yourself a pat on the back for stepping into your future!
