Welcome To Youthworx
Youthworx is a child-centred organisation that offers therapeutic residential accommodation, intervention, advocacy, and counselling to children and young people who may display emotional behavioural difficulties as a result of adverse childhood experiences. We are also able to offer support, mediation and advocacy to the families of the children that we work with.
At Youthworx, we use trauma-informed strategies to meaningfully engage with the children and young people we care for and work with. We use a systemic approach that acknowledges the impact and importance of the relationships in each child’s life and we apply contextual safeguarding so as to understand the child in the context of their lived experiences. We apply these methods as we believe that, through understanding the child’s relationships, family history, and social network, we will be better able to identify possible patterns within the child’s history that may be creating barrier’s to their achievement and success. We work closely and collaboratively with the child’s network, including their family members, friends, and involved
professionals to ensure that our understanding of the child is robust, reflecting all aspects of their lives, and we use this information to inform the child’s care / intervention plan in a way that is meaningful and effective.
Within Youthworx, we place the well-being, outcomes, and empowerment of children at the forefront and centre of our work. We support children and young people through their journey’s by providing them with the tools and strategies they require in order to successfully navigate the challenging aspects of their lives.
It is at the core of our value base that, as well as children being supported to understand their life stories, they are also empowered to learn and grow from their experiences.

"If you can conceive it, you can achieve it"
At Youthworx, our adage is, “From Adversity to Greatness”. We created this adage because we believe that no experience should create a barrier large enough to prevent a child from achieving and attaining positively in their lives. We teach the children we work with, and care for, to be wise, resourceful, adaptable and resilient problem solvers. Fundamentally, we are realist’s and because of this, we introduce the children we work with, and care for, to tangible models of change through the provision of mentors, who have themselves overcome adversities in order to achieve the things that they aspired to in their lives.
The Youthworx community and network is vast. Every child and young person who is supported by Youthworx will have access to a wide range of opportunities, work experience and mentoring. These opportunities will be provided by advantageous and inspirational people from a multitude of sectors in order to demonstrate to the children and young people that, with focus, intentionality, ambition and the right support, their goals can be achieved.
