Together they develop a support plan through developing skills, knowledge, tools and opportunities to achieve their goals and aspirations. An important aspect of developing these goals can be achieved through utilising assessment tools. For youth, access to interactive assessment tools like SPARX is important. The team will look at strengthening their relationships with intermediate and secondary schools to offer programmes to increase student resiliency around relationships with themselves, their family/whānau, their peers and things like physical activity, nutrition and alcohol. In some instances the team are able to involve other Services to ensure that all the elements of each person’s recovery is progressing. Recovery is a life journey. Everyone’s recovery will be different, reflecting each person’s uniqueness as individuals. The counselling team will walk beside each person on their journey, supporting and motivating them to achieve to be as healthy as they can be.
