Treehouse Innovative Families Information

Treehouse is a flexible child-centered program designed around the individual needs of each child or young person, and their siblings. We create "innovative families", a living arrangement between trained professionals and children/young people who have experienced trauma neglect or abuse. We work together, with children and young people, encouraging them to begin the process of moving through their trauma. Allowing them a safe space to build rapport, form attachments and feel confident to transition out of survival mode. We nurture and encourage them to develop their identity and sense of self, fostering their physical, emotional, social and psychological well being to better themselves and their future lives. We create a space where children and young people can re-establish their understanding of family life and provide opportunities for them to create and achieve their goals.
