The Thrive Approach
The Thrive Approach is a dynamic, developmental and trauma-sensitive approach to meeting the emotional and social needs of young people who require additional assessment and support.
Understanding how the teenage brain develops can help everyone – teachers, parents and carers, and young people themselves – cope better with adolescence.
Young people experience a burst in brain development, a changing body and challenging transitions as they progress on their journey to adulthood. This phase of development offers an amazing window of opportunity to help them become more emotionally resilient and open to learning.
The Thrive Approach enables us to seize the opportunities of adolescence and create a safe and emotionally healthy environment for the young people in our setting.
We are developing licensed practitioner, our team will be equipped with the skills to help young people, and their providers, understand and respond appropriately to the ups and downs of adolescence.
