Our Therapeutic Approach
At Amegreen Children’s Services we recognize that trauma early on in life leads to many difficulties including building relationships and having positive experiences. We work with developmental trauma, attachment theory and PACE to support our young people to explore the world safely and, re-build their self-worth and confidence so they can go on to achieve their individual ambitions.
However, embedded in day-to-day routines is our attitude to therapeutic parenting which all staff members are trained in by a DDP trained professional, this training is put on throughout the year to refresh staff’s knowledge and support them to reflect on challenges they face within their role.
Through the therapeutic input from staff and therapists and through providing safe and nurturing homes, we aim for young people to develop a sense of identity and a sense of belonging while the continue to strive for the best possible future.
Tailored Therapy Plan
We work with a clinical psychologist and other external therapists to ensure each young person has a tailored therapy plan which works for them, and we support young people to go at their own pace.
What Our Young People Are Saying
“I like living at this home because I get to go horse riding all the time and that is my favourite thing to do! Also, my bedroom is cozy, and I got to choose all the decorations.”
— Young Person
“I have a really good relationship with the adults they understand me, and my sense of humour and I feel safe with them. At the moment they are trying to help me get back into education which I find really hard.”
