| Recipient Org: Description | Elpis Centre, a Glasgow-based organisation, started in 1974 ? initially to respond to the needs of one homeless woman. Elpis Centre's overall purpose is to assist young women referred to us through Glasgow City Council through individually tailored plans that focus on developing living skills, social skills, and learning and employment opportunities. We provide young women with safety and security; support to achieve goals and develop new skills; encouragement to choose positive options; assistance to care for themselves and their living environment, and to make the transition to live independently. This includes support with accessing education and learning opportunities including language skills for young women who are asylum-seekers and for whom English is not their first language; identifying employment opportunities and providing a wide range of employment support, as well as assisting young women in addressing many longstanding issues associated with being homeless and vulnerable such as mental and emotional health support. Each young woman referred to Elpis receives support to meet their needs after a robust assessment by staff - within the context of ?Getting it Right for Every Child? (GIRFEC) and the SHANARRI Indicators - the principles and values that underpin services for children and young people in Scotland. Elpis Centre assists young women through individual tailored plans that focus on developing living skills, social skills, and learning and employment. Elpis also maintains a critical focus on the health and emotional wellbeing of each young woman we support. Elpis works in partnership with public and third sector agencies including local authority and NHS services such as Leaving Care Services, Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Personality Disorder and Trauma Teams, Addiction Services; Youth Justice Services; education and colleges, careers services and specialist third sector organisations so that young women receive the right support. Most young women live in Elpis for between six months to two years. Some leave to go to independent accommodation, to return to their family or move to mental health facilities, and few leave due to challenging behaviour, including substance misuse and offending. Elpis? monitoring processes include a Quality Assurance Policy; an Annual Review; continuous reviews of outcomes for young women, and regular feedback from, and constant engagement with, residents, family members, carers and social workers. Elpis? residents are consistently positive in terms of the nurturing environment they experience and the work of staff to promote, encourage and develop their life chances. One recently said: 'Excellent place to stay, stayed here many years ago, when it was in previous addresses, if it wasn't for Elpis I wouldn't be here today, support both in and aftercare is amazing, well worth staying at'. |
