Our Support Pathway

Launching soon

ETWE Association provides a coordinated pathway of language support, advocacy, navigation, mentoring and practical assistance. Where appropriate, we also connect participants with specialist services and provide sustained follow-up to support long-term stability.

How our support works

ETWE Support Pathway. Step 1, practical help: language support, advocacy, navigation, mentoring, practical support and specialist referrals. Step 2, peer support. Step 3, sustained follow-up. Follow-up leads to three outcomes: housing retained, employment retained and safer relationships. Together these lead to improved stability and independence.
