Understanding Young People

Young Foundations placements can be for short term crisis resolution through to long term developmental care. Length of placement is directly related to the needs of the young person. The ultimate goal of Young Foundations is to provide our young people with the stability they need, return them to a family setting, give them back their independence and allow them to put their past behind them.

Many of them have huge learning gaps because they have not been at school. As well as providing them with the one-to-one care they need, Young Foundations provides on-site educational support and organised activities that play a huge part in getting their lives back on track.

For children and young people experiencing crisis, Young Foundations can provide a safe haven that can act as a positive platform for reflection, reappraisal and new initiatives. For young people with complex needs, a stay at a Young Foundations home can establish an optimistic framework from which new and positive outcomes can be expected.

Multi-disciplinary teams deliver tailored support which is child-centred, therapeutic and needs led. Central to this is a team of frontline carers who care and deliver therapeutic and educational programmes. Around them is a team of clinicians providing professional assessment, direct therapeutic work, and consultation.

Our specialist healthcare and educational input is included within our weekly fees. This means that there are no hidden extras to throw your budgets out - just genuine value for money.

Whilst Young Foundations is a bright young service, it draws on the knowledge and infrastructure of a long established provider in parent company, Castlebeck. To learn more about Castlebeck, click here.
