This Is The Theraputic Community I may be going Too

A therapeutic community
providing high quality residential
psychotherapy for
adults with a severe emotional disturbance
in a reactive and caring environment.

The Therapeutic Community is an innovative
project that offers intensive long and short term
psychotherapy, both residentially and in a day
programme, to people suffering from severe
emotional and psychological disturbance.
The approach and methods used are specifically
for helping people to solve serious and
life-threatening problems such as
self-harm, eating disorders and
aggressive acting out.

The residential community is for those who need
a 24 hour, highly structured, intensive service to
challenge long term, self defeating behaviours
that have prevented them from living successfully
and satisfyingly in the wider community.

The Community is an approved contractor for
residential services with Birmingham City
Council Social Services Department as a
residential home for 10 people

All the people who join the Community have
problems with relationships and the business of
being together on a daily basis raises many
issues and provides opportunities for learning.
The most important of these opportunities is to
make secure atachments to members of staff and
other clients and to claim this as a place in which
to belong and feel safe and accepted. There is a
lot of support, companionship, laughter, love and
commitment. members are expected to engage
actively in their own therapy and to identify for
themselves what they need. The therapeutic
process is based on a series of contracts about
how these needs will be met, and a lot of
structure is provided which creates safety and
enables people to function within the
Community as they develop the internal
resources to order their own lives.
