Moving beyond school into adulthood is a major milestone, and having the right network in place makes all the difference. 👏

That’s why we’re looking forward to attending the upcoming Planning for Adulthood Transitions Event hosted by Carers of West Lothian next week.

Members of our Adult Services team will be there to discuss our tailored support for neurodivergent individuals aged 16 and over as they take those next steps.

Whether you're just starting to think about transitions or already making plans, drop by our stand to meet the team, pick up information and discover how we support young adults and their families to shape a future that truly fits.

Event details:

🗓 Date: Thursday 12th November
🕐 Time: 6pm to 8pm
📍 Location: Inveralmond High School, Livingston

If you are a parent or carer of a young person aged 14-18 with additional support needs, come along and see the support available.

❗ Spaces are free but booking is essential: https://t.co/XbZSWPwdbW
