OUR APPROACH
Therapeutic Care Model
At Kindred Horizons, we believe that healing happens within the context of safe, nurturing relationships. Our therapeutic care model is built on evidence-based principles that recognise trauma, attachment, and the fundamental human need for connection
Trauma-Informed Practice
We understand that many children in care have experienced significant trauma. Our approach recognises how trauma affects brain development, behaviour, and relationships. We respond with compassion rather than consequence, seeking to understand what children are communicating through their behaviour.
Attachment-Focused Care
Secure attachments are essential for healthy development. We prioritise building trusting, consistent relationships between children and their care teams, providing the stability needed for emotional growth.
Therapeutic Parenting
Our staff are trained in therapeutic parenting approaches that combine nurture, structure, and empathy. We create an emotionally holding environment where children feel safe to express themselves and learn new ways of relating.
Positive Behaviour Support
Rather than punishing unwanted behaviour, we work to understand its function and teach alternative skills. Our behaviour support plans are individualised, proactive, and designed to build resilience.
Co-Regulation and Emotional Literacy
We help children develop emotional awareness and regulation skills through modelling, coaching, and supportive interventions that build their capacity to manage strong feelings.
Daily Life and Activities
We believe children in care deserve rich, varied, and joyful childhood experiences. Our homes provide:
Educational Support: Working closely with schools to ensure attendance, engagement, and achievement
Recreational Activities: Regular trips, hobbies, sports, and creative pursuits
Life Skills Development: Cooking, budgeting, household management, and independence preparation
