The Attach service is a therapeutic team is made up of a range of professionals including clinical psychology, child and adolescent psychotherapy and occupational therapy. Our work uses attachment, trauma and child development theory to understand the needs of children who have been neglected or abused and who no longer live with their birth parents.
We work with children, young people and their new families, as well as with the professionals who support them. We think about how best we can work together to meet children and young people’s needs and support their emotional wellbeing. Our aim is for children and young people to feel happy and secure in themselves and in their homes.
We also offer short-term assessments and therapeutic interventions for unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people. We recognise that these young people can feel especially lonely and stressed. We can offer our support in individual or group sessions, such as a therapeutic nature group, and offer translators to support good access to the sessions.
