Who We Support
Children at Risk of Sexual Exploitation (CSE)
We support children who are vulnerable to sexual exploitation, providing them with the guidance, support, and protection needed to reduce their risk. Our focus is on early intervention, educating children and families on the dangers of exploitation, and offering tailored support to those who have been affected. Through therapeutic services, advocacy, and safety planning, we help children rebuild their sense of safety, agency, and trust.
Children at Risk of Criminal Exploitation (CCE)
Children at risk of criminal exploitation often face severe challenges, including being coerced into illegal activities such as drug trafficking, theft, or violence. We work with these young people to provide them with the resources, education, and support needed to break free from harmful networks. Our approach includes risk assessment, tailored interventions, and ongoing support to help young people build positive futures and make informed decisions that promote their wellbeing and safety.
Children with Emotional and Behavioural Challenges
We support children who are facing emotional and behavioural difficulties, whether due to trauma, mental health issues, or other complex factors. Our services focus on helping these children understand and manage their emotions, build coping strategies, and improve their behaviour in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. We work closely with schools, families, and other professionals to ensure the children receive the holistic support they need to thrive.
Children Who Often Go Missing from Home
Children who go missing from home are at an increased risk of harm, including exploitation, abuse, or becoming involved in criminal activities. We offer targeted intervention services to identify the root causes of running away, provide emotional support, and work with families and professionals to create strategies for reducing the risk of absences. By building trust and providing a safe space, we help children feel supported and reduce the likelihood of repeated disappearances.
Children Who Are Gang-Affiliated or Have Recently Exited a Gang
Children involved in gangs or who have recently exited gang life often experience high levels of risk, trauma, and instability. Our work with these young people focuses on providing them with alternatives to gang involvement, addressing the underlying causes that led to their affiliation, and offering support to successfully reintegrate into their communities. We focus on empowerment, education, and positive role models to ensure these children can move forward with healthier choices and stronger futures.
Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children
Unaccompanied asylum-seeking children face unique challenges, including trauma from displacement, cultural barriers, and the uncertainty of their immigration status. We offer tailored support to help these young people adjust to their new environment, access educational and health services, and understand their rights and responsibilities. Our focus is on safeguarding their wellbeing, providing emotional support, and guiding them through the asylum process while ensuring they feel safe, supported, and valued.
Young People Transitioning from Foster Care or Residential Settings into Post-18 Services
The transition from foster care or a residential setting into adulthood is often a difficult and uncertain time for young people. We provide comprehensive support to ensure they can successfully navigate this period of change. Our services include helping young people access education, employment, housing, and mental health services, as well as providing life skills training to foster independence and resilience. Our goal is to support young people in their transition to adulthood, ensuring they have the tools and resources to lead fulfilling, independent lives.
Each of these groups requires specific and individualized support, and Three6ixty is dedicated to helping young people overcome their challenges, build resilience, and access the opportunities they deserve.
