Our Therapeutic Approach
At Amegreen Children’s Services, we recognise 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 they continue to strive for the best possible future.
