Our Mission
Why we’re here
To provide therapeutic care to young people living in our homes and develop their social, emotional and life skills so they can live safely and productively in the community.
We use a trauma-informed approach and the PACE model (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy), so children feel safe, build trusting relationships and re-engage with learning and life.
Compassionate
We listen and respond with empathy and kindness.
Inspiring
We nurture confidence, ambition and a sense of possibility.
Dependable
We keep our word and create consistent, safe environments.
Collaborative
We work as one team with families, professionals and each other.
Trauma-informed, relationship-based care
Every interaction aims to build safety, trust and growth.
PACE in practice
How we show up every day
Playfulness
Warmth, humour and creativity to build connection.
Acceptance
We accept the child’s inner experience and set safe boundaries.
Curiosity
We wonder with young people — “what might be going on?”
Empathy
We attune to feelings first so children feel seen and safe.
