Helm Discovery

"Pathway to Healing and Recovery"

Helm’s Discovery is a comprehensive 8 stages pathway to healing and recovery designed to guide children through a structured and personalised journey of healing, from referral to full independence. The model ensures that each stage is tailored to individual needs, supporting progress at a sustainable pace.

Rooted in trauma-informed practices, by integrating multiple therapeutic modalities, the model adapts to the specific needs of each stage of recovery, allowing for a personalised approach based on the children’s progress and needs, providing personalised support based on timeframes and progress. Advancement through the stages is determined by continuous assessments, feedback from the clinical team and therapeutic parents. Regular evaluations ensure that the child is fully prepared to move to the next stage only when they have demonstrated stability and readiness.

This model ensures a clear direction with flexibility for individual growth, providing a clear pathway from admission to achieving independence with specific therapeutic goals and steps to navigate through. The journey may involve various treatment approaches, with each stage building upon the last.
