Gender Specific Provisions

Stepping Out is a specialist health and social care provider. Our core responsibilities are to aid young people with severe challenging behaviour on to independence. The majority of clients we work with have issues ranging from self-harm, self-neglect and suicidal tendencies to those with autism and offenders involved in moderate to serious gang violence.

We accommodate these young people within small homely environments, this enables us to ensure the young people are safe, supported and supervised at all times, our projects are known for their experienced and proactive 24 hour on-site staff.

Importantly we operate gender specific projects i.e. male only or female only homes. We have found that this is positive for the young people involved, their families and professionals, operating in this way reduces incidents caused by social male -female relationships, which can at times be emotional harmful and cause a home to breakdown.

Contact us today if you need to place a young person between the ages of 16-18 whom displays challenging behaviour, and would benefit from a gender specific provision with 24 hour on site staffing.
