Our aim is to provide an individualised placement for Young People with complex needs, who may have experienced trauma, neglect, and abuse and we understand that surviving this harm often
affects both internal and external worlds. These young people may have additional diagnoses of mild or moderate learning disabilities and/or autism, where it is assessed that they would benefit from the therapeutic milieu and positive behavior support approach that carelink offers.
We advocate that living and learning together, integrated with more formal treatment methods, will provide the opportunity of more healthy choices in life.
We will provide a service that reflects and responds to the individual needs of each child placed at Carelinks. We also recognize that Young People often show their difficulties in groups and that a healthy functioning group can be powerful in helping a Young Person develop social skills and abilities.
