Promoting independent living

 All our rooms and our whole premises as a whole are kept clean and tidy. We will work with you to maintaining a clean and safe living environment for all our residents. 

 Our qualified and experienced counsellors/therapists are here to support all our residents so they can benefit from exploring their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours in the confidential counselling setting. 

 Art therapy is one of the services we provide our residents. This involves using creative techniques like painting, drawing, colouring or sculpting to help our residents express their emotions artistically. We believe that that creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being in our residents.  

 With play therapy, we use game/play as the main mode of communication, especially with young adults whose speech capacity may be compromised, to help them towards better growth and development, social integration and social skill development.  

 We are dedicated to supporting our residents to eat well. Based on your food preferences, we involve you as much as possible in food preparation.  We can help you with food preparation and develop a healthy eating diet chart tailored for you.  

 All our residents get support with food and grocery shopping and basic household budgeting which will help them in the future to take care of their finances.   

 We encourage our residents to join leisure and health activities that would benefit their mental health. If you need support in joining and attending any activities, our carers will be happy to support you.

 We believe that young adults have a right to learn about their growing bodies, relationships, sexuality, sexual health and parenthood in ways that are appropriate to their age and stage of development. We provide age and stage appropriate resources to help our residents have relationships that are mutually respectful, consensual, positive, healthy and enjoyable.   

 We assess our residents’ needs and we work with local GP and other health services to provide holistic support to our residents. We help them in accessing and registering with health services.    

 Whether you would like to continue your education, or get special training or course, or get into work, we will support you all the way. Our carer will help you with filling application forms or provide you with information and resources about any bursaries or scholarships. We will also keep updated on work placements or apprenticeship opportunities.

 Good mental health and family support can go hand in hand. We encourage family contact for all residents. Our premises are clean and homely and our residents can invite their family to visit them with pride. We keep our residents’ families involved and updated on their progress.

 We will ensure your stay with us is most enjoyable and you are happy by taking care of your emotional and mental health well-being.  

 We attend to every small detail that can make a big difference in meeting our residents’ cultural or religious needs. We ensure we find out what our residents likes and dislikes are, rather than being led by our assumptions. Our carers can accompany you to your place of worship if you like to attend.

 If you need treatment for drug addiction or undergoing treatment for drug addiction, with our right help and support you can get drug free and stay that way. We will provide you with a specialist carer, who will support you throughout your treatment.

 Managing the money can be quite daunting for some but we can help you with budgeting or savings or managing your finances on the whole. We can also help you with opening a bank account.  

 We will support you with finding or obtaining independent or group accommodation and securing a tenancy.  

 If you are looking for a council property to rent, we will help you get onto the local housing register and support you with bidding for your preferred properties every week.
