Horizon Care provides a period of stability and respite to allow young people to reflect on their difficulties and make future plans based upon a comprehensive assessment of their social, emotional, physical and educational needs.

We aim to understand, manage and change the difficult, complex and challenging behaviours of the young people who come into our care by meeting each individual’s needs without creating an institutional environment. The philosophy of the organisation is based upon the principles of normality, social inclusion, rights and responsibilities, choice and unconditional positive regard.

Key Workers work in collaboration with NT&AS and the in house clinician, to provide a comprehensive assessment for each young person and to structure the care plan to meet each individual’s needs. The work is undertaken at the pace of the young person, and allows them to grow to further heighten their strengths and weaken their difficulties. We support their vulnerabilities and attempt to turns these around and create a resistance to the pulls of their challenging behaviours.
