Arc is an independent service that has been set up to meet the needs of young people both locally and nationally.
The Arc team is committed to providing a therapeutic environment which is safe, nurturing, encouraging, creative and supportive.
The multi-disciplinary staff team aim to ensure the process of holistic assessment and treatment leads to a positive outcome for young people.
We can provide psychotherapy through the arts, including drama, music, dance and art therapy. This can be channeled through group or 1:1 working. A consultant Mental Health Nurse offers a range of mental health assessments and motivational interviews of young people.
The service is overseen by a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist who provides regular clinical supervision to the staff team.
Arc aims
- To provide a safe, distraction free environment
- To deliver an effective treatment programme
- To effect a successful recovery and re-integration
The homes are small enough for everyone to feel important and have their individual needs met. They are large enough to offer a sense of community living, yet small enough to care.
