Founded in 2007, New Reflexions has grown into one of the leading organisations for providing services with homes across the United Kingdom, for children that have emotional behavioural difficulties. We are an independent, integrated care company who truly believe that, “if it isn’t acceptable for our own children, it is not acceptable for any child”. Our successful triad of care: therapy, residential placement and education, has a proven track record and we are proud of our philosophy of never ending a placement for a child.
As an organisation we provide short, medium and long term residential care to young people, who for whatever reason are either unable or unwilling to live within a family setting. Our young people have usually suffered multiple placement breakdowns and are in desperate need of stability. It has been our experience that these young people just need someone to believe in them, to listen to and respond to their needs. To this end, we offer our young people a commitment to stand by them and work through the difficult times and support them to achieve a sense of emotional and practical independence.
