Preparation for Adulthood

The Preparation for Adulthood service has been set up to pilot a new whole system way of working to support young people transitioning into adulthood.

We use a strength-based approach and put the young person and their family or support network in the centre of what we do.

We are a true person-centred service and work together with the young person to co-produce better outcomes.

We want to raise aspirations for young people in Birmingham and will support them in their own decision-making, with a focus on what the young person wants.

We want to connect young people, parents and carers to services across Birmingham and utilise the communities the young people live in.

We will ensure that with the right access to information and other services- we can really improve their quality of life and support them to make positive choices into adulthood.

For more information about Preparation for Adulthood, please email preparationforadulthood@birmingham.gov.uk to speak to a member of the team.

The Preparation for Adulthood service is an additional service that the young people can choose to accept support from. It does not replace any statutory services.
