St Benedicts Care

St Benedicts philosophy is to have fun, enjoy and achieve

The service is aimed to enhance the quality of young people’s lives, promoting dignity and respect through the use of therapeutic parenting. The therapeutic parenting model will help to establish a secure base from which the children in our care can develop, thus preparing for independence and access to mainstream activities.

“The basic human right of children and young people is their right to live a happy life. Their right to feel safe, to be safe, to be heard and be respected. Their right to progress in life pursuing their dreams and aspirations. We believe it is all about being given the opportunities from which to build and grow. Instilling confidence from where self-belief will effortlessly manifest.

St Benedicts fundamental aim is to provide a foundation and environment that will prepare children and young people for the rest of their lives as they embark on their diverse journeys ahead.”

Therapeutic rationale

At St Benedicts we have chosen to use the Therapeutic Parenting Model as the means of supporting our young people to meet their respective outcomes for the duration that they are in our care and beyond. The Therapeutic Parenting Model encompasses and promotes the optimum relationship between staff and young people to assist in meeting their developmental needs. At the foundation of our day to day functioning we endeavour to model a secure base to the children and young people in our care. Our process of initial assessment, external therapeutic input and Therapeutic Parenting Model incorporated by staff, are in place as a form of holistic care which is delivered within each level and interaction with the young people in our care.
