We aim to help them begin repairing the damage of previously abusive and traumatic experiences. We assist them in finding ways to incorporate a positive experience of ‘good enough care’ and parenting in their present worlds. Our therapeutic practice approach assists children and young people achieve equilibrium, enjoy their childhood, and manage the change needed to move forward in their lives.
By providing carefully thought through intensive individualised programmes of therapeutic care, informed by ongoing assessment of need, within the residential group milieu, we begin to form vital and appropriate relationships and attachments, attempt to survive the unbearable and overwhelming feelings and anxieties projected by the children and young people in to the adults around them, begin the process of repair and restitution, assess and meet the child or young person’s complex needs, and provide our children and young people with the means of finding the missing pieces in the jigsaw puzzle of their lives.
We have another extensive training plan lined up for 2018 across the organisation, that will provide further continuous professional development for those in Management positions as well as offering more focused learning for all in key targeted areas of practice, to ensure we continue to meet and exceed the living and learning needs of the children in our care.
Throughout 2018 we will continue supporting Trewan Sands Children's Trust, a charity that helps families with terminally ill children to have one last holiday together, with sponsored events and other fundraising ideas.
