What can I expect from the service?

If accepted for housing with Sonas, a member of the Women’s Support Team will meet with you to carry out an assessment of your needs, and develop an individual support plan based on identified supports including risk and safety, health and well-being, finance and social welfare, legal and court accompaniment.

If you have children and they are living with you, then a member our Children’s Support Team will follow up with you and the children, to assess the children’s needs and identify what supports they might need. If children do not live with you and/ or are in care we will still work to support you in a parenting capacity should you choose this.  Each Sonas supported housing site has both a communal playground and playroom available to children.

A member of the Women’s Support Team will work on supporting you through the week with a dedicated 1-2 hours specifically spent addressing your needs including a 1 to 1 session in that time.
