Redefining Care in Children’s Homes: A Trauma-Informed Perspective

Proven impact across your organisation, team, and children in your care
Our mission: To embed trauma-informed practice in every home

We partner with care providers to deliver evidence based trauma-informed support.

Trauma-informed care is reshaping the way residential teams support children in care. By embedding psychological expertise into everyday practice, care providers can create safe, nurturing environments where healing becomes possible.

We partner with care providers to deliver evidence-based, trauma-informed support

We equip residential teams with the training, programmes they can deliver with children and young people, and ongoing support needed to help children access trauma-informed care that promotes emotional wellbeing and healing. Through tailored interventions and coaching, staff are empowered to respond to trauma reactions with empathy, consistency, and confidence. This approach not only improves outcomes for children, it transforms homes into spaces of trust, stability, and growth.
