Tumblewood

..........................................................................

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.

In March 2010 the children at Tumblewood raised £100 by cleaning cars. They worked diligently and enthusiasticly on a very cold day and were proud to present their hard earned money to Marie Curie Cancer Care
