Child Focussed Approach

When working with our young people, we like to make them the focus of our practise, making sure we concentrate on the child as an individual, and viewing situation's from their perspective. Each and every child is different and has had unique experiences behind that have had positive and negative effects on their journey.

Therapeutic Parenting

We use therapeutic parenting to help nurture our children and young people by giving then consistent, empathic, and insightful responses to their distresses and behaviours. In turn this can lead our children and young people to learn and understand their own triggers, help them to self regulate and ultimately understand their own behaviours.

Family Supervision

Not all our work takes place in the sanctuary of our homes. Often our children and young people need support and assistance outside the safety of the residential environment. This can be provided across many different situations and can be tailored to each child's individual needs, providing family support in the home, supervising sibling and family contact or facilitating activities.

Positive Reinforcement

Part of our behavioural model, champions the use of positive reinforcement to help support our children and young people within the residential environment. By applying pleasant and desirable stimulus following behaviours strengthens the likelihood of continued successful responses. Negative reinforcement can also be applied in the same way and discourage repetition of negative behaviour.

Removing Barriers

Every child is unique and faces their own challenges within their own journeys. These can be hurdles to education, individual experiences to trauma, neglect and abuse, or situations within the family structure and environment. By continued and consistent support we can help to identify these barriers and seek and apply professional help to overcome them.

Independence Skills

Our young people may often reach us in the final years of adolescence. Our focus then becomes supporting this transitional phase from child to adulthood, and teaching and bringing them independence skills that that will then prepare them for life beyond residential placement. This can involved cooking, shopping and budgeting as-well as making health appointments and accessing the correct public services.
