Therapeutic Re-engagement Service 

Therapeutic Re-engagement Service               

Our Re-engagement model is bespoke and is offered from a minimum of one hour per week to a maximum of two days. The main aim of this model, was to provide a service which can be adapted to suit each individual. It can be run from 9am-3pm Monday-Friday, and it can start by simply engaging with the service user by sending photographs or a video each week of the animals, working on building the trust.

Thereafter, some simple texts/ calls could occur to form the professional relationship further. All of this is with the aim of encouraging the individual to attend our setting. We are realistic in the sense that we know many individuals are having a very difficult time presently, especially with social isolation and anxieties in mind. We want the Re-engagement model, to re-engage service users with the space around them.

We hope that this model will then allow the service user to progress their way through for as much as they need per week. Once they reach two days, they would move on to the Therapy Day Service model.   This model was created when it was evident that the Therapy Day Service was too much of a big ask for our vulnerable young people.   We hope that the Re-engagement model continues to be a valid 'next step' to success for many.
