Freddy’s* guardian became interested in the Pathways Program during Freddy’s final year of schooling. Supported by teachers, he attended trial sessions during Term 4 and after some initial trepidation, started to enjoy getting to know other participants and building a rapport with the team of Skill Development Coaches.
Once school finished for the year, he started attending the program every day for the morning session, participating in fishing, bike riding and the Nailed It woodwork program. He continued building friendships with other participants, and
now enjoys a weekly coffee catch up with a friend he has made in the program.
He is planning to transition into one of Carpentaria’s Supported Independent Living homes and is excited to continue his journey into adulthood.
