At Capernaum life
We work with young people (aged 16 –21) who haven’t had a fair deal.
They may be experiencing exploitation, homelessness, substance abuse, self-harm, mental health issues, leaving care or they are generally at risk.
We encourage an interdependent way of living. We see the value in making mistakes. We work with you to confront your fears, find the courage within
you to progress beyond them and take control of your life.
Making a referral to us is easy
We operate an open door policy to anyone who might be interested in our services. We welcome both authority funded and private placements.
