Our Therapy
Model Of Care
At Forge Care, we believe every child deserves access to meaningful therapeutic support as part of their journey with us. All children who make a home here are offered the opportunity to engage in Therapy and Life Story work, provided as part of their wider therapeutic care.
We are committed to continually reviewing and evolving our clinical offer to ensure our young people receive the very best therapeutic support, informed by the latest research, theory, evidence, and best practice in the field of mental health and wellbeing.
Every child at The Forge benefits from a universal therapeutic offer, aimed at shaping their environment, relationships, and experiences at every level. Clinical support is not limited to 1:1 therapy — it is embedded throughout our community, recognising the vital role of adults, the system around the child, and the environment itself.
Our Clinical Offer Includes:
All adults within Forge Care community receive ongoing training in PACE, Trauma-Informed Practice & Therapeutic Life Story Training, ensuring every interaction nurtures emotional growth and a sense of safety.
In addition to our universal training, we deliver bespoke clinical training for staff teams based on emerging needs, such as:
- Self-harm
- Emotion regulation
- Working with sexualised behaviours
This ensures that our adults feel skilled and confident in responding to complex needs.
Every young person benefits from regular Team Around the Child meetings, supported by a psychological formulation report.
These reports offer insight into each young person’s unique story, needs, and strengths, guiding therapeutic care, education, and support strategies.
Key staff working closely with our young people receive fortnightly clinical consultations.
These reflective sessions support staff wellbeing, deepen understanding, and strengthen our overall therapeutic approach.
Our dedicated clinical team is based on-site, providing ad-hoc clinical support as needed.
This ensures we remain responsive, flexible, and attuned to the evolving needs of our young people, offering timely support to both students and staff within the community.
