All staff at Tumblewood understand therapeutic
interventions, professional and reparative parenting
and commit themselves to the needs and welfare of
the young people in their care. The work with young
people and their progress is dependent on the young
person learning to trust and the team having the
ability to ‘walk and talk’ with the young person,
'be and accept' the young person and ‘give and share’
with the young person during their placement.

The structured daily community lived experience is
integral to the therapeutic milieu at Tumblewood
Community. This experience is supported through
a culture of interest and inquiry which promotes self
development and acknowledges personal vulnerability.
Individual placements offer a 'space' where cognitive
distortions, learned behavioural patterns and emotional
distress are addressed. The opportunity to integrate
and change offers young people clarity in their identity
and the ability to adapt to the struggles of every day life.
