We provide a structured clinical treatment programme which integrates psychoanalytic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches, embedded within a therapeutic community model. This holistic programme includes individual treatment, an offence-focused group work programme and large group-work focusing on emotional wellbeing. The programme encourages ownership and responsibility for behaviour, providing opportunities for young people to learn to managing risk safely and develop the skills to voice their feelings in healthy ways.
A therapeutic community is a planned environment which exploits the therapeutic value of social and group processes. It promotes equitable and democratic group-living in a varied, permissive but safe environment. Interpersonal and emotional issues are openly discussed and members can form intimate relationships. Mutual feedback helps members confront their problems and develop an awareness of interpersonal actions.
