We offer numerous development opportunities including training in therapeutic models and delivering parent and carers support and information groups.

Hope

The Hope Service is a multi-disciplinary service for young people aged 11-18 who are experiencing complex mental health, emotional, social and behavioural needs which could cause a placement breakdown or may require a Tier 4 hospital admission. These needs cannot be met by one agency alone. It is a joint partnership between Health Services, Children's Services and Education working together to provide support to young people in the community and through day programme provision.

The Hope Service received an Outstanding grade in the last Ofsted inspection.

At Hope we are a dedicated team of Social Workers, Nurses, Teachers, Psychologists, Art/Drama Therapists, Psychiatrists, a Systemic Family Worker and Activity Workers.

Our remit is:

• To prevent or shorten Tier 4 inpatient hospital admissions for young people with mental health difficulties
• To prevent out of county fostering, community home or residential school placements for young people
• To prevent family breakdown where a young person is likely to be placed out of county
• To work with young people in the community and/or through the provision of an individualised day programme to meet their specific therapeutic, educational and social needs
• To support young people to access employment, education or training on exit from Hope
• To work with young people on a short-term basis, usually for 6 -12 months

Our day programme offers structured therapeutic, educational and personalised recreational activities to young people. It is flexible to ensure that it meets individual needs in a safe, supportive and therapeutic environment. In addition to education, there is a focus on individual and group therapy, art therapy, drama therapy, psychology, cognitive behavioural therapy, anger and anxiety management, assertiveness training and practical social and living skills.
