The Invest In Me Fund is available to young people to financially assist in achieving their personal goals. It is provided through the coaching relationship and administered by Home Stretch WA service providers.
One of the overarching Coaching Practice Principles, is the ‘right to a reliable source of support.’ This includes access to a viable and secure financial safety net for resources to support young people towards their aspirations and goals or for crisis relief.
The Continuum of Financial Support
Developing a young person’s financial literacy to increasingly build their skills, knowledge and capacity to source and access other resources in the community, enhances their ability to make their own choices. Building their own financial or in-kind capacity to be able to ‘chip-in’ or ‘chuck-in,’ towards the cost of an identified need, were seen as essential principles by young people to develop their financial interdependence. Young people ‘taking charge’ and being given the freedom and respect to be the ‘expert in their own life’ removes that sense of powerlessness and learned helplessness, so commonly talked about by young people leaving care.
