**About the service**

**Couthie House** provides long-term residential care and support to children who are unable to live within their family home. The service offers a stable, secure, and nurturing environment with a strong focus on individual needs and developing life skills. These life skills empower each young person to make meaningful choices, develop, grow up, and become resilient.

The children and young people in our care face complex learning disabilities and exhibit challenging behaviour. We believe that behaviour is a form of communication and with dedication and insight, we actively strive to recognise the messages embedded in behaviour. Our approach is rooted in providing the necessary support to enable positive communication.

We collaborate with CAMHS LD (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for Learning Disabilities) and our own Behaviour Consultant. Together, we develop and deliver person-centered support plans.

Our ultimate goal is to give every young person the support and guidance they need to reach their full potential.
