Helping young people to achieve their independence
At Budwood we take a holistic approach towards preparing young people for adult life and independent living. This includes helping young people to develop their social, emotional and behavioural skills, supporting them in their education or employment goals, and teaching them the skills they need to live independently. These skills include how to keep healthy, cook for themselves and manage a household.
“We focus on each Young Person’s needs individually, because no two will ever be the same.”
