Independent living

Independent living

It can be scary thinking about where you’re going to live as you get older, but remember everyone feels nervous or scared sometimes, but knowing where to go for help is important and can help with feeling less nervous. This section contains information about what can help you live as independently as you can, it doesn't mean doing things on your own. There is information about the different options for where you could live, including videos of young people talking about their living arrangements. We’ve also included details about who you can contact to help you make decisions and talk things through with, apart from your family.

It's also important to know about money and what benefits are available to you to help you live as independently as you would like, so we’ve included information about that too.
