Social Care - Support Time and Recovery Workers for Teenager/Young Adult

urspecial

Hi All, 

My Social Worker has said that she must referr me to the support time and recovery worker.

 

STAR work for the local council and this is all to build up my social care package.

The council wants everyone to be reffered to STAR first, to see if they meet your needs (OCD   but ASD is the bigger condition of the two).

STAR is cheaper than charities with specialism for ASD, according to my Social Worker.

 

Has anyone had contact with STAR team through social services, NHS or other agencies.

Are they any good and what for (e.g. specific aspects of autism, mental health issues etc) 

 

Any advice would be great and especially anyone who has been through the social care stuff before.

 

Thank you

and remember,

urspecial

  • Hi Everyone,

    My Social Worker is back after being ill for SIX whole months. I am now going to recieve 12 weeks Reenablement support from STaR Service.       Yay! (sarcasm). 

    This is a service for people with mental health difficulties aged 18-65 and recieve funding to use the service from Social Services.

    My concerns are that it's not a youth orientated service which can meet my needs as a teenager/young adult and as I have Autism too.

    There is also concern with, as mentioned in my previous posts, that the service will be a more "clinical" service as mentioned by a STaR worker in an independant report on their service.

     

    I know I shouldn't judge a book by the cover, it's just fustraiting I need to use this service for the time being though it may not be the best one for me.

     

    Would be greatful for others' responses especially young adults.

     

    Thanks,
