Goodmayes

Group Living Residential Children’s Homes in London

This unit specialises in working with young people of both gender who are at risk of a foster placement, residential or family unit break down.

Staffing ratios remain consistently high including waking night teams, ensuring we are able to offer placements at short notice via our national on-call system.

At Goodmayes we have adopted The Pillars of Parenting ‘Authentic Warmth’ model.

This systematic approach provides a powerful framework for assessing and identifying previously unmet or undiagnosed needs through the supervised application of psychology within a residential environment.

Based upon our initial assessments interventions can normally be delivered within a short timescale.

Every placement is carefully designed and developed by our clinical teams who provide weekly consultations with our practitioners to deliver strategies to intervene in patterns of behaviour.

This expert clinical oversight is provided via external chartered psychologists, their findings can be applied whilst developing care plans for each child or young person.

These strategies will reflect an intensive problem focused assessment of behavioural problems, a hypothesis for the underlying emotional causes and a proposed treatment strategy for both short and longer-term.

Five Rivers can further support moving on plans into our own group living residential programmes or identify a family within our national Family Placement Service.
