Newcombe House Client Types

Most young people at who reside with us have had troubled pasts and some have had many placement breakdowns. Newcombe House is a specialist residential resource specifically designed for young adolescent females who present with self injurious behaviour. In addition to self harm, they may be experiencing associated difficulties such as: an eating disorder, depression, substance misuse, challenging behaviour, family breakdown, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual vulnerability /abuse and other mental health issues.

Additionally, they may have had problems of abuse, substance misuse and high levels of risk-taking behaviour. It is our belief that through careful care planning, risk management and continual assessment, this is the type of young person who can benefit most from the service we provide.
