Supporting Children & Young People to Thrive, Grow and Succeed

At JS Supported Living, we provide high-quality care and supported accommodation for children and young people, including those aged 16–17, in a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment. We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to feel secure, build confidence, and develop the skills needed for a successful and independent future.

Our Support at a Glance

Group Wellbeing Workshops

Structured group sessions designed to help young people build understanding, confidence, and coping skills.

Groups usually run for 4–6 weeks and may focus on:

  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Understanding thoughts and feelings
  • Managing difficult emotions (including anger)
  • Developing healthy coping strategies

Groups are age-appropriate, supportive, and led by trained practitioners.

Peer Support

Open-ended, regular drop-in sessions for young people who benefit from ongoing emotional check-ins.

Peer support offers:

  • A safe space to talk or reflect
  • Support with goal-setting and wellbeing
  • Opportunities to practise coping skills

There’s no pressure to share, young people are encouraged to take part in a way that feels comfortable for them.

Services

1-2-1 Coaching & Support

Short-term, individual support for young people who would benefit from focused one-to-one sessions.

This support may include:

  • Talking through worries or challenges
  • Learning coping strategies
  • Building confidence and emotional awareness

Sessions are tailored to the young person and are usually time-limited.

Services

Counselling and Specialist Support

Some young people may need more specialist support. We work closely with trusted partner organisations to help ensure young people access the right service, including:

  • North Staffs Mind: 1-to-1 counselling
  • The Dove Service: specialist loss and bereavement support

Our team will help guide young people and families towards appropriate support where needed.
