Ridgway Children's Services - A Positive Choice

Ridgway Children’s Services recognise that many of our young people will present a variety of behavioural, emotional and social problems which may be linked with more acute complex needs.

We acknowledge that while individual therapy is vital, it is inadequate on its own and therapeutic treatment must embrace the young person’s whole environment.

Our ethos, therefore, is to provide a nurturing and therapeutic environment in which young people can be supported to develop and achieve their potential.

Our therapeutic approach is designed to provide support to overcome issues that has beset the young person. Our aim is to provide a range of therapies which are tailored to the individual needs of each young person.

We have a team of qualified therapists offering a variety of interventions and therapies which can be delivered in situ at the residential homes or the schools.

Formal therapeutic assessments are carried out from which recommendations are made in order to inform individual
therapeutic programmes.
