Our approach
Our therapeutic model bridges the gap between hospital and community, providing consistent, person-centred support over time. By prioritising social connection and purposeful activity, we support residents to rediscover what they want from life and realise their potential.
Recovery is not always straightforward, so we work alongside residents through the five stages of our recovery pathway, at a pace that feels manageable for them, usually over a period of two to three years. After this time, the majority will move on to lower supported housing, their family home, or their own flat.
1. Engagement
We co-create recovery plans with residents, along with strategies to engage with the community and our therapeutic programme, and help build ongoing, emotionally safe connections.
2. Attachment
We help residents form secure community bonds by encouraging participation in groups and activities.
3. Containment
Through psychotherapy and regular keywork, we help residents feel safe, belong, and better manage their emotions.
4. Exploration
We encourage and support residents to take positive risks and identify opportunities to realise their goals and their strengths.
5. Autonomy
Skills training and activities like our Experts by Experience programme help residents gain confidence and move toward independence.
