Understanding the varied impacts of trauma on children and young people
Trauma includes harmful events like abuse or neglect that can feel life-threatening. The impact on children and young people varies, affecting their emotional, social, spiritual, and physical well-being differently.
Facilitating Recovery and Resilience
Our team uses a “trauma-informed” approach to recognise and support children affected by trauma. This helps them recover and build resilience. Join our children’s division to make a real difference in their lives.
We work closely with other organisations to create a bespoke approach for all our children!
You can help each child, no matter what challenges they face, realise their true potential
A recent case study!
Watch our children’s animation video to see how the life of a young boy has dramatically changed since starting his support with Salutem Care and Education. This story highlights his journey of growth newfound confidence he has gained as he receives the care and support he needs. Witness the positive impact our dedicated team has made, and be inspired by the transformative power of compassionate care.
Throughout the day, we document observations about the young people’s wellbeing and actions. We ensure the home is clean and tidy, and sometimes help with gardening. We have dinner together in the evening, then they enjoy some free time or a movie. We strive to make our homes warm and vibrant, where everyone respects and supports each other, just like a family.
A Typical Day at a Children’s Residential Home
The day starts with lots of energy as the young people can be early risers and ready to begin. After a handover, you’ll help with morning routines. Each person has unique needs, like making breakfast or personal hygiene if needed.
Every young person has their own daily schedule with activities they’ve chosen or planned. On weekdays, activities may be education-focused or about learning life skills like cleaning, cooking, and managing money. In the evenings, weekends, and school holidays, they enjoy swimming, trips to the park, bowling, or watching movies. Sometimes they spend time with their families at the home or their own homes.
As a team member, your job is to support them in these activities, helping them to be as independent as possible. You might join in fully or just be there for reassurance, building their confidence. You can also get creative. Fir example, if a young person loves football, you can help them attend games or following their favourite teams online!
