THE PLACEMENT
Associated Wellbeing are delighted to now offer young people aged 16-25 years a place to smoothly transition into adulthood. Located in Bradford, The Elms is an 8 bedded placement providing evidence based, trauma informed, health and social care for young people within a homely environment. We offer emotional and relational support, alongside environmental, security and safety support, to encourage, empower and become more responsible and independent individuals.
WHAT WE DO
The Elms is a step-down rehabilitation provision, providing intensive psychological treatment and support for service users identified as requiring rehabilitation support, via psychological therapy and interventions. Young people will have access to a full Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) program, an evidence-based approach aimed at supporting young people to develop skills to: become more mindful of and to manage difficult and intensely felt emotions; to tolerate distress and manage impulsive urges, and to improve their relationships with others.
MODEL OF CARE
The Elms will follow a Biopsychosocial model when delivering services, whereby we will be empowering the young person to become more independent and responsible for their actions. Our trained staff are dedicated to enhance the young person's coping skills to support them in becoming more resilient young adults, be more confident and better equipped to deal with societal pressures.
