St Andrew’s has three main care sectors for women:
We place particular emphasis on empowering our service users to be at the heart of their care and our service. To enable them to do this, we provide high quality physical environments, staff and activities to increase quality of life and encourage independent living in a supported surrounding. Through contextual analysis and progressive care pathways, we can allocate the correct level of care, specifically taking into account that many service users may have experienced trauma or abuse before residing with us.
We assist individuals to recover in a manner that will allow their management of ongoing care in conditions of lesser security. A choice of treatments, based upon social learning theory informs the psychosocial treatment programme and includes RAID (Reinforce, Appropriate, Implode, Distruptive), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) and PCP (Person-Centred Planning).
