At Orchard Therapeutic Care, we are passionate about improving the learning, mental health, and quality of life for children and young people through trauma-informed practices.

Our team includes a qualified Trauma-Informed Practitioner who provides our education and care teams with expert training, advice, and ongoing support. This ensures we maintain a culture of nurture, helping children heal their minds, brains, and bodies. We aim to ensure that mental health challenges and troubled behaviours never become barriers to learning or thriving in adulthood.

We provide trauma-informed therapeutic care grounded in strong, supportive relationships. Our approach is built on the belief that every interaction can contribute to the healing process and make a positive difference.

Our Approach

We employ a multi-faceted model that blends the expertise of our in-house therapeutic team with the stability of structured routines and enriching life experiences. Therapeutic input is seamlessly integrated into daily activities, creating an environment where young people can respond and benefit throughout their day.

All our staff, across both our education centre and residential homes, are fully trained in trauma-informed practices. By using consistent techniques and approaches in our behaviour and relationship policies, we provide a cohesive and nurturing environment. This consistency helps young people feel safe, secure, and supported, fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging the development of citizenship and pro-social behaviours
