We aim to help young people to develop insight into their experiences in order that they can move on from their often damaged traumatic past. We support them as they take steps to make sense of their lives by providing clear and safe boundaries and achievable goals. This includes positive reinforcement strategies such as reward charts and free time.

  • You must hold a driving licence and have access to a vehicle. Due to the rural location of our services public transport would not be a viable option
