Supporting you

We support young people who have experienced emotional or behavioural challenges by offering personalised care, guidance and daily support that helps them feel safe, understood and able to grow.

We provide young people with the stability, understanding and opportunities they deserve, building a foundation rooted in respect, care and hope for their future.

We take time to understand each young person’s experiences and the impact these challenges have had on their wellbeing, relationships and sense of safety. By offering consistency, patience and genuine care, we help them rebuild trust, re-engage with education and rediscover their strengths in an environment where they feel supported and valued.

About Anchor

We take time to understand each young person’s needs

Every young person arrives with their own story, strengths and challenges. We take the time to understand what they need to feel safe, settled and able to grow.

Understanding who YOU are

We take time to learn about your story, what makes you feel safe and what helps you feel settled. Staff listen carefully and work with you to understand your strengths, worries and goals. This helps us support you in a way that feels right for you.

Creating a Plan That Works for You

Once we understand your needs, we create a personalised plan together with you and the professionals who support you. This plan guides your daily routines, education, activities and emotional support, making sure everything is built around what you need to thrive.

Checking In and Adjusting Along the Way

Your needs may change, and that is completely normal. We regularly review how things are going and listen to your feedback. If something is not working, we make changes with you so the support you receive always feels helpful, safe and appropriate.
