There are places for young people in a home in East Sussex, that accommodate up to 4 children, with a highly experienced and motivated staff team, who are committed to helping young people change unhealthy patterns of behaviour. We do this by providing a warm and homely environment, with structure and support, and very clear boundaries. Also, an individual programme of education, personal development, social skills, leisure activities, and independence training, specifically designed to meet their personal needs. Staff work with a young person in a non-confrontational way, and place a high value on humour to diffuse potentially violent situations. We encourage young people to break previous patterns of behaviour, and learn to live a healthier lifestyle. This empowers them towards the self-motivation they will need to develop their abilities.
