Helping young people with disability build confidence for adult life

The journey to adulthood can feel overwhelming for both young people and their families.

Learn2Adult Coaching helps young people with disability build the confidence, skills and decision-making abilities they need to navigate adult life with greater independence.

Are you wondering what’s next for your child?

You want your young person to become more independent, but you’re not always sure how to get there. Perhaps you’re thinking:

  • How can my child become more confident making decisions?
  • What happens after school?
  • How do I prepare them for adult responsibilities?
  • How much support should I provide and when should I step back?
  • Will they be able to advocate for themselves?
  • How can I help them build the skills they’ll need in the future?

If these questions sound familiar, you’re not alone. Many families find the transition to adulthood challenging. Learn2Adult Coaching was created to help make that journey clearer and less overwhelming.

Learn2Adult: A unique coaching program developed by Mosaic

Learn2Adult is Mosaic Community Care’s proprietary program designed to help young people with disability build decision-making skills, confidence and independence.

Rather than focusing on what a young person can’t do, Learn2Adult focuses on building the skills they need to make choices, solve problems and take greater control of their life.

Every coaching journey is tailored to the young person’s goals, strengths and aspirations

Building real skills for real life

Every person’s goals are different. Learn2Adult Coaching can help young people develop the skills and confidence to:

The goal is helping young people make more decisions for themselves and feel confident in doing so.

Why families choose Learn2Adult?

  • Skilled coaches: Our Learn2Adult coaches have extensive experience working with young people with disability. They build trust, develop strong rapport, and work at each young person’s pace.
  • Local community connections: Our coaches understand the community services sector and can connect with the young person’s support circle to provide practical resources that help achieve their goals.
  • Individualised coaching: No two young people are the same. Every Learn2Adult coaching program is tailored to the individual’s goals, strengths, interests and support needs.
  • Focused on real-life outcomes: Learn2Adult coaching centres around practical life decisions that young people encounter as they move into adulthood.
  • Supports the whole family: Families often find the transition to adulthood challenging too. Learn2Adult helps parents and carers develop confidence in supporting greater independence while remaining involved.
  • Builds skills for life: The focus isn’t simply on achieving one goal. It’s about developing lifelong decision-making skills that can be applied across many areas of life.
  • Designed specifically for young people with disability: Learn2Adult was developed specifically for people with disability and recognises the unique challenges and opportunities they may experience when transitioning to adulthood

Helping parents let go with confidence

One of the hardest parts of adulthood is knowing when to step back. Learn2Adult helps families gradually shift from making decisions for their young person to supporting them to make decisions themselves.

The goal isn’t to remove family involvement. It is to help young people build the confidence, skills and support networks they need to thrive as adults.
