Starfish Way provides support to the region’s most vulnerable young people struggling with mental health, poverty and inequality who, without intervention, face negative life destinations. Our holistic programmes promote positive mental and physical health, provides education, independent living skills and employability support to maximise positive and sustainable life outcomes. Responding to the changing needs of young people with additional support needs (ASN), we tailor programmes to equip with the confidence and resilience to be happy and thrive. These personalised programmes are the foundation for unlocking positive, independent and financially secure futures.
