About us
Established in 1994, we offer a cost-effective alternative to hospitals for around 100 people experiencing acute and prolonged mental distress, multiple mental health diagnoses or the long-term impact of compound trauma each year through our seven mental health recovery communities across London and the South East.
Our residential communities operate as Psychologically Informed Environments (PIEs) that integrate trauma-informed practices into care, promoting understanding, supportive, positive relationships, and personal growth and recovery.
Our clinical model places relationships at the forefront of treatment and enables our residents to actively participate in their recovery.
We are committed to the highest standards of quality and safety, staff training and our high-support communities are CQC-regulated. Our relational approach significantly benefits residents and staff and creates a culture that promotes recovery, reduces hospital readmission rates, and improves the long-term health outcomes of our residents. Most of our residents achieve stability during the first 18 months of their stay with us.
“I really like the staff who encourage us to achieve our goals. We are at peace with each other and there is so much care and understanding. I really like this place.”
