The four year Linked-In Project supports young people aged 13-25 who are released from police custody after arrest from Belfast’s Musgrave Station, Antrim Town Station and Derry/Londonderry’s Strand Road Station.
Young people are being supported to develop a plan to address their needs including improving life skills, attending counselling or addiction services, volunteering and providing peer support.
This is improving the physical and mental health of these young people, reducing the risk of future offending, and improving their connections with family, friends, peers and available support services.
Young people are also sitting on steering groups in each project area to help ensure the support is meeting their needs.
