A Therapeutic Approach to Care:
Trauma Informed,
Attachment Focused

We look to make a real difference to each young person by way of the relationships that they establish with carers and by the care they receive.

We work to the emotional age of the child, we look for connection over correction, we demand that our carers be "the adult" and are positive, empathic role models for our children. We care with a light, empathic touch.
