This service is specifically dedicated to providing support to females who are vulnerable, have a learning disability and may also have mental health issues. The individuals that use our service, require 24 hour support in a safe environment which encourages and promotes people to gain confidence in their lives, and promotes decision making and choice through a person centred approach, which is individualised and dependent on the specific needs and communication requirements of each person.
Specialist Expertise
At Trevithick, the team are centred to deliver a service provision which responds to the changing needs of the person, as well as enabling the person to maintain stability in the life. The service is outcome focused and achieves this by listening and responding to what the individuals tell us is important for them to achieve. We ensure that we work with people to achieve their goals and aspirations in a way that keeps the person safe, but also maintains and develops a life which makes sense to the person.
The team at Trevithick have experience of working with females who have complex needs and high levels of vulnerability, supporting and enabling them to become more independent in their every day life and promoting them to make decisions about their life. At Trevithick, we also have knowledge of supporting people who have previously lived in a more structured environment, and require support and confidence to make the next step to more independent living.
