Being young carries with it a range of particular stresses and difficulties. This is why we created The Grove a specialist residence, within Capio Nightingale Hospital, dedicated exclusively to the adolescent age group and the specific issues that can affect them.
We are leaders in the treatment of young people aged 12-18 who are experiencing mental health, emotional, or behavioural difficulties. Staff at The Grove are specialists in Adolescent care and therapy, and are sensitive to the issues that can affect young people. In some cases, they will help to address mental health issues alongside a range of other problems such as substance abuse and personality or developmental difficulties. Whatever the challenges facing a young person, The Grove is a sanctuary to guide them towards feeling better and staying well.
To help our residents we use a range of psychological therapies - including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, family assessment and therapy, individual and group therapy sessions, verbal and non-verbal approaches, occupational therapy and both formal and informal education. We strongly encourage the participation of family, and local health and social care professionals, in devising and delivering plans in conjunction with young patients and staff at The Grove. We also work closely with families and provide assessment and ongoing therapy, post-discharge, where appropriate.
The Grove offers a comprehensive programme of activities, including full school curriculum during normal term time and a summer school in the long break. Activities are led by the multidisciplinary staff team with additional input where required from external experts in drama, music and art. The St Marylebone Church of England School provides teachers to work with our patients who are of school age. The school maintains extremely high standards and has been Ofsted rated.
