INCLUDEM
INCLUDEM is a Scottish charity dedicated to redressing the social exclusion of the most vulnerable and chaotic young people in Scotland. We are committed to our key founding principles to challenge offending behaviour, support young people and develop hope for the future through one to one relationships.
We work in partnership with local authorities to focus on:
- the highest risk young people with the most complex and challenging needs and behaviours including offending, welfare and health needs;
- young people who are characterised by a chaotic lifestyle and/or mistrust of services which make them difficult to engage with and for whom our flexible and responsive service approach is effective;
- those who have often exhausted and/or screened out by other services.
Our services are available at the times, and in the places, where immediate support is needed; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, in both a community and residential setting.
Do you want to join a National Respite team dedicated to supporting these young people on a short term, one to one basis by providing professional crisis intervention through respite care?
