Reconnect is an early intervention service for young people aged 12-18 (or 12 and 21 years if they are newly arrived in Australia), who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in the North West of Tasmania.
The service aims to help to stabilise their living situation, develop more positive relationships with their family and support connections with education, work, training and the community.

I left home because my parents were driving me crazy. They told me who I could hang out with and where to be and what to do. If I even try to visit they just keep heckling me so I get angry and go.
I’m glad I got onto the Reconnect program. I was able to trust my worker and was comfortable talking to them. They helped me to avoid getting expelled from school and how to get help from the government to finish college.
It wasn’t easy but I also learned about how to work out stuff with my parents.

The Reconnect Program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. Visit dss.gov.au for more information.
