Residential Child Care

For many of our children and young people, incidents of abuse and neglect have characterised their early years’ experiences. Attachment disorder through neglectful relationships has hampered their development, their ability to form relationships and regulate emotions. Their view of themselves, others, and the world around them is therefore driven by a deeply rooted belief that adults cannot be trusted.

Some young people will have experienced multiple moves between homes, foster and residential homes, and they are overwhelmed by loss and an innate sense of grief, sadness, guilt, hopelessness, helplessness, and shame. Sadly, the survival responses to their own unmet needs have been to develop maladaptive coping mechanisms that manifest in harmful behaviours. Our aim is to support them to overcome their challenges, discover what incredible human beings they are, and embark on self-healing journeys.
