Our Registration

Onyx House is registered to accommodate up to three young people aged 5 to 18 years old, regardless of their gender. We primarily accept young people who are experiencing a decline in their mental health and require assessment of their ongoing needs, therapeutic intervention, or support for emotional dysregulation EBD (e.g. ADHD).
We also specialise in helping young people who are transitioning from psychiatric care or who require additional support beyond what is available in the community.

Our short-term goals are:

To prevent hospital admissions whenever possible
To work closely with the local authorities (LA), CAMHS/learning disability (LD) services- as the young people in our care are typically already involved with these services and may also be under Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS).
To gain the young person’s trust – making them realise that they mater and are safe.
To help the young person manage their feelings and behaviour.
To build the young person’s self-esteem – so they understand they are valued for who they are.
To help the young person to feel involved– enabling them to negotiate and contribute towards their care plan.
To help the young person to feel comfortable living at home.

Whilst still maintaining our short-term goals, our long-term goals for the children are:

Family re-uniﬁcation
Moving to Foster Care
Kinship Care
Move into (semi) independent living with the necessary life-skills

We will work with each child in a unique way, ensuring their own individual needs are met. We acknowledge that each young person’s individual circumstances are diﬀerent, and so our short term goals may take some time to achieve depending. However, the home will endeavour to achieve the most positive outcomes for all cases.
