Our service offers a combination of medium and low secure specialist services for adults and adolescents with mild/borderline learning disabilities and challenging behaviour who may also have a mental health problem and/or an offending history.
The term, ‘learning disability’ refers to people with a significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning, with onset in the first 18 years of life.
People with learning disabilities are also more likely than non-learning disabled people to have various types of mental illness. Therefore, our services work very closely to cater for service users that may have co-morbidity conditions.
Our services for men and women, located at our Northampton, Essex, Birmingham and newly-built Nottinghamshire sites are based on a treatment philosophy of rehabilitation and integration back into the community. A comprehensive multi-disciplinary team is in place to offer a wide range of individualised therapies and interventions to ensure a tailored care programme for every resident. Our adolescent service, based in Northampton, helps young people work towards leading independent lives by maximising their potential through positive interventions.
