If it is for your son or daughter that you are seeking treatment, we would like to express our commitment to supporting you as a family. We know that your role is essential in the recovery of your teenager. 

Although our main focus will be on the adolescent, we will pay particular attention to hearing your views and wishes and articulating these with the teenager's objectives. This is the only way to promote the young person's engagement in treatment. The aim will always be to help the teenager embrace their right to define their own happiness but we will, with your direction, influence the objectives the teenager sets for him or herself.

We will offer a personable approach to care, but we will always deliver evidence based treatment in line with the highest standards of care. 

Finally, if it emerges that a parent is suffering emotionally, we will suggest support for you either as part of the Bear Project YPT care package or direct you to external support as we collaborate on a regular basis with psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists.
