Supporting Young People Transitioning to Adult Care Services
The transition from children’s to adult care services can be a significant and sometimes overwhelming change for young people and their families. At Prudent Supported Living, we offer personalised support to help young people make this transition smoothly and with confidence.
Our team understands that this is a pivotal moment in a young person’s life, and we are dedicated to providing guidance, support, and practical assistance every step of
A Person-Centred Approach to Transitioning
Each person’s transition is unique, and we work closely with young people, families, and other professionals to plan for the future. We start the transition process early, ensuring that the person’s needs, preferences, and aspirations are central to the planning.
Our approach is person-centred, focusing on:
Understanding the individual’s strengths, needs, and goals
Identifying areas where additional support may be required
Ensuring a smooth handover from children’s to adult services
Building independence and resilience
Encouraging active involvement from the individual and their family
Ensuring access to the right therapeutic and support services
Planning and Preparation
We begin the planning process well in advance of the transition. This includes understanding the young person’s needs and goals, identifying suitable housing options, and ensuring access to appropriate care and therapy. We also ensure that the young person is well-prepared for the changes ahead, discussing what adult services will look like and what to expect.

Health and Wellbeing
As part of the transition, we ensure that healthcare needs — including emotional wellbeing, mental health support, and physical care — are met. Our team works closely with medical professionals to ensure continuity of care and that all support systems are in place from day one.
Skills Development for Independence
A major aspect of transitioning to adult services is developing the skills to live more independently. Whether it’s managing a household, accessing public transport, cooking meals, or building social networks, we provide tailored support to develop these vital life skills.
Education, Employment, and Social Opportunities
We also help young people explore opportunities for further education, vocational training, volunteering, or employment. Social integration is equally important, and we support them to form friendships, engage in community activities, and pursue hobbies.
Collaborating with Families and Professionals
Successful transitions are built on collaboration. We work closely with families, social workers, schools, and other support professionals to ensure a smooth and coordinated process. Our team ensures that all involved parties are kept informed and can contribute their knowledge and expertise to the planning and ongoing support.
We also offer ongoing support to families, helping them adjust to the changes and providing guidance on how they can continue to support their loved one’s independence and growth.
