Bracken View - Coming Soon
Bracken View is set to be our 5th Learning Disabilities home.
Bracken View is a specially adapted three-bedroom home designed to provide comprehensive care for children with learning disabilities. Our home is equipped with modern amenities and tailored environments to ensure the comfort and safety of our young people.
The home is supported by a dedicated and skilled team of professionals who specialise in addressing early life trauma and understanding its profound impact on children’s development. Our staff are trained to offer personalised care plans that cater to the unique needs of each child, fostering a nurturing and supportive atmosphere.
At Bracken View, we emphasise creating a warm, inclusive community where children can thrive. We offer a range of therapeutic activities and educational programs aimed at promoting emotional well-being, social skills, and cognitive development. Our goal is to empower children to reach their full potential in a safe and loving environment.
Our Therapeutic Approach
At Amegreen Children’s Services we recognise that trauma early on in life leads to many difficulties, including building relationships and having positive experiences. We work with developmental trauma, attachment theory and PACE to support our young people to explore the world safely and re-build their self-worth and confidence, so they can go on to achieve their individual ambitions.
However, embedded in day-to-day routines is our attitude to therapeutic parenting, which all staff members are trained in by a DDP trained professional, this training is put on throughout the year to refresh staff’s knowledge and support them to reflect on challenges they face within their role.
Through the therapeutic input from staff and therapists, and through providing safe and nurturing homes, we aim for young people to develop a sense of identity and a sense of belonging while they continue to strive for the best possible future.
Tailored Therapy Plan
We work with a clinical psychologist and other external therapists to ensure each young person has a tailored therapy plan which works for them, and we support young people to go at their own pace.
What Our Young People Are Saying
“I like living at this home because I get to go horse riding all the time and that is my favourite thing to do! Also, my bedroom is cozy, and I got to choose all the decorations.”
— Young Person
“I have a really good relationship with the adults they understand me, and my sense of humour and I feel safe with them. At the moment they are trying to help me get back into education which I find really hard.”
