Therapeutic care education and treatment of traumatised children and young people

Childhood First transforms the lives of children and young people who suffer severe emotional and psychological difficulties, so that they can relate well to others, fulfil their potential and enjoy life.

Centres of excellence

All four of our residential services provide specialist integrated therapeutic care, education and treatment for children and young people aged 5 to 19, who are seriously emotionally and psychologically disturbed.

Residential care

We aim to provide an effective and inspiring education, enabling each child to catch up with their mainstream peers, develop an enjoyment of learning and achieve their potential.

Therapeutic education

A pioneering service developed in collaboration with a leading independent fostering provider. Both bring their reputations for consistently innovative and high quality care in our respective fields.

Therapeutic fostering

Where a child referred to us has a relationship with members of birth or foster families, we work closely with family members to facilitate and support these relationships.
