Young people may be referred to our Specialist Residential Homes to step down from hospital or due to community placement breakdowns. Often young people pose significant risks to themselves as a result of their Complex Emotional Needs. They often have histories of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). This being said, our model supports young people with a wide range of mental health presentations and many have co-morbid neurodiversity. We consider ourselves an autism friendly service.
Our specialist residential mental healthcare package includes 24/7 clinical support from our consultant led multidisciplinary mental health teams. In addition, our residential teams support their skill development, working toward recovery, perhaps stepping down to one our Independence Packages
Our Specialist Residential Eating Disorder Service helps complex young people to maintain their physical and psychological health in the community. This service offers a real alternative to young people who may have had multiple or long hospital admissions. Alternatively, they may have struggled to maintain nutritional and mental health stability in a community setting.
While working on their eating behaviours and underlying issues over time, they are able to continue to access education and employment. They can achieve their life goals and maintain connections with meaningful others within a community setting.
For young people facing an emergency placement breakdown or mental health crisis, we offer an emergency Rapid Intake & Assessment crisis service. This can be a less restrictive alternative to hospital admission. It can particularly support those who have previously deteriorated or become stuck within hospital. At the end of an initial 12 week initial placement, young people may return to a previous setting. Alternatively, we may agree to continue to provide a longer term specialist residential mental healthcare placement to achieve more meaningful change and work on recovery goals.
