Respite programme with the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust
The aim of the programme is to provide short term overnight breaks for families and carers of children who have a learning disability and display challenging behaviour.
Greenhill YMCA offers an area that provides young people with a therapeutic outdoor environment that is safe and secure. Within the extended grounds of the facility the young people will have access to mountain walks, archery, hydro pool as well as trained staff in outdoor pursuits. SETRUST has sole access to a chalet within the grounds for which short breaks can be utilised.
As part of a further Service Level Agreement, Greenhill YMCA also ensures that a trained outdoor pursuit’s professional is available to work alongside staff and young people availing of the facility.
This is an excellent opportunity to integrate young people into inclusive productive activities within an environment that is safe and therapeutic. The facilities and environment in Newcastle would reinforce the Positive Behavioural Support Model of Care.
