Unit 1 – Move In
Hi, welcome to unit 1 – Move In!
This is all about Passport to Independence and this webapp, as well as discovering more about yourself and how you learn best. You will find out how to use your learning preferences to your advantage, work out your confidence and motivation levels and set goals. Also, about being a tenant living in YMCADLG supported housing, understanding your rights and your responsibilities.
Passport to Independence has been co-created with both housing staff and residents living in YMCADLG supported housing services. This means that it has been created by people like you with similar experiences, who understand what skills and knowledge are needed to gain independent living skills.
You can work through this programme with a Project Worker, or by yourself at any time, as long as you have access to some technology (a phone, laptop, tablet etc.) and the internet. If you are struggling with access to these, please speak to a Project Worker who will be able to support you.
