At Living Waters, our tailored care programs provide the guidance and encouragement young people need to pursue their aspirations and reach their highest potential. Each young person is supported in discovering their unique gifts, talents, and interests. We foster an atmosphere of possibility - one where young people can envision the bright futures they are capable of achieving.
Our dedicated mentors work closely with each young person to help them identify their passions, set goals, and take steps to make their dreams a reality. Through coaching conversations, we instil the belief that they have limitless potential. With this growth-focused mindset, youth gain motivation to turn their aspirations into achievable targets.
The structured daily schedule teaches valuable time management skills and helps youth practice self-discipline to work towards their objectives. Our staff provide resources and opportunities for youth to explore their interests through engaging learning experiences. Field trips, guest speakers, community service projects, and more expose them to diverse possibilities.
At each step, we encourage young people and celebrate their progress. Our individualized support empowers them to overcome obstacles on the path towards actualising their highest vision for the future. By building self-belief and giving them tools to take purposeful action, we prepare our young people to step into a life of meaning, fulfilment and achievement.
Preparing our young people for Independence
At Living Waters, our life skills programs focus on building core competencies to help young people successfully transition into adulthood. We provide focused training across four key areas:
Financial Literacy
Learning sound financial management early on instils vital money skills. Our financial literacy workshops teach critical concepts like budgeting, saving, investing, and responsible spending. Through interactive lessons and exercises, young people gain practical knowledge to make informed financial decisions. Roleplaying real-world scenarios gives them hands-on practice applying their new skills.
Self-Care & Health
We empower young people to care for their overall wellbeing through sessions focused on nutrition, fitness, and healthy lifestyle habits. Our cheerful cooking classes teach young people how to prepare simple, nutritious meals. Young people can also join our yoga, dance, sports, and mindfulness programs tailored for their age group. Learning positive self-care skills helps them build lifelong healthy habits.
Social & Emotional Growth
Our dedicated counsellors help our young people to develop key social-emotional skills. This includes communication, anger management, conflict resolution, resilience, empathy, and positive self-concept. Young people gain insight into handling interpersonal relationships and managing overwhelming emotions. These abilities are vital for success in school, career, and life.
Education & Career Preparation
We support, young people to continue their academic journey in a supportive environment. We also offer career guidance and college prep tailored to each child's goals and aptitudes. Young people learn how to set SMART goals, build resumes, apply for jobs/college, and envision their bright future.
