Delivered by The Society of St James, RESET navigators offer voluntary support to 18 to 25 year olds year olds who are at risk of involvement in serious violence. This service is delivered in the community.
Individuals are referred into the service through police data and nominations. If an individual is accepted by RESET they are contacted for an initial assessment. A strength based needs assessment is undertaken and the young adult is offered holistic support with relevant areas of their life, for example housing, mental health, education, training and employment. Navigators then offer them a tailored support plan and focus on addressing their specific needs, mentoring and engaging with the individual regularly. RESET are also able to signpost individuals towards other services to get them further support.
It promotes a whole system, public health approach to reducing crime by minimising vulnerability and building protective factors to support them away from further offending.
