Ep1: Yes to child-to-adult support transitions

Yes to You: The Lifeways Social Care Podcast

In this very first episode of Yes to You, the Lifeways podcast, our host Paul is joined by Will Oborne, Community Engagement and Business Development Manager for Lifeways’ East region, to discuss navigating the transition from children’s to adult services. Child-to-adult transitions usually means 17 or 18-year-olds who move from a parent’s home, school or facility into a supported living, or residential service.
