At Esland, we offer care, education, and therapeutic support to 6 to 18 year olds from diverse backgrounds who have encountered a range of adverse childhood experiences. These experiences include complex trauma and foster placement breakdowns, as well as difficulties engaging in their education setting. The young people we support often have mental and developmental diagnoses which impact their daily functioning. To help a young person manage these challenges we make every interaction with them therapeutic in nature. With our support they learn how to build positive and trusting relationships, regulate their emotions and try new and positive experiences to support their transition into adulthood. Most importantly, we put our young people at the heart of everything we do, with the dedicated support of our talented teams, partnerships, and community relationships.
