The Pathway Plan is an interactive tool created with participants to identify and keep track of the goals they would like to achieve while working with their mentor at Brave. The Plan includes the steps they will take to achieve these goals.
Our mentors work with participants to create a Pathway Plan to ensure they are connected to support, services and opportunities in their local communities.
Participant’s individual Pathway Plans are regularly reviewed with their mentor to see how they are progressing towards their goals and to continually identify further areas of support that will maximise their development as a parent and as an individual.
Founded, designed and led by those with diverse lived experience, Brave has many years’ experience and expertise working with expecting and parenting young people and the community stakeholders who support them.
