The Benefits
of Therapy
Adolescence is a formative phase marked by intricate emotional and psychological development. Therapy provides a safe haven for them to voice concerns, process emotions, and develop coping mechanisms.
Professional guidance equips them with essential life skills, fostering resilience and self-awareness. Early intervention through therapy can promote healthier relationships, improved self-esteem, and better mental health outcomes.
"Therapy at Sunlight Care promotes resilience and
emotional well-being in the young people there."

Young Mental Wellness:
Developing Strong Young Minds
Meeting the mental health needs of young people in the care system continues to be a prominent driver of government policy and practice guidance. Sunlight Care will work collaboratively with local CAMHs services and other specialist teams to help those young people who are struggling with mental health issues.
This will be written into the care plans for them and they will have full encouragement from staff to gain the help needed to gain recovery for their mental health, we will be promoting at all times a range of treatment options for them which they have the right to access while at Stenson Lodge.
Young People Assessments:
Building Positive Future Lives
At Sunlight Care we believe it is essential to undertake an assessment at referral, intake and at strategic points during the placement. The initial assessment will incorporate key domains of the young person’s function and development needs including educational, emotional/behavioural, social and learning skills.
The findings from the initial assessment period play a pivotal role in shaping various aspects such as the placement plan, treatment objectives, educational requirements, and most importantly, in establishing the parameters for anticipated outcomes.
Childhood & adolescence is characterised by development and change; placement plans must reflect and accommodate these changes in the light all information available and with access and support from staff from external agencies like CAMHS to support Children on a 1-1 basis when needed.
