After-Care Programs

The final stage of care is the period of the After Care Programs for Independent Life (Semi-Independence Program). Becoming independent means, amongst other things, to have a job with sufficient income, find a home of your own and are able to maintain and administer it. The young persons are supported with appropriate aftercare programs according to each specific case, situation, and needs that the young people might present. Young people enter when they reach 19 – 20 years old and normally this phase has a duration of 3 years after which a young person continues his/her completely independent life.

All the young people are enrolled in schools/ university, or they work, especially young people in After Care Programs for Independent Life (Semi Independence Leaving Program). They while studying are as well working Around 90 % of young people in SILP are working even in these hard times of employment; 70 % of young people in SIL are continuing the highest level of Education in University (some of the young people have benefited by scholarships).

When our youngsters start to take care of themselves, start managing their everyday lives, and have secured a job with sufficient income, then comes the moment when we can measure our performance to see if we succeed or not.
