The Therapeutic Residential Adolescent Care Unit was established in 2009 and is for young people aged 11 to 17 who have lived through neglect and abuse in their day-to-day lives. Generally, there are four people living in the home at any one time. The unit is accessed through referral and there is a six-week process where staff gradually integrate young people into the service. This starts with a meeting and dinner at the home to meet the other residents; to gradually increasing their overnight stays each week until they have moved in indefinitely.
Eligibility: Children aged 11 to 17.
