Progress Lives: Nurturing Young Lives Through Compassionate, Therapeutic Support
Every child deserves a safe, stable environment in which to grow and flourish. At Progress Lives, we combine decades of expertise in residential childcare, social work, education and therapeutic practice to offer just that. From the moment a young person joins our home, they become part of a nurturing community built on trust, respect and clear communication.
A Heritage of Excellence
Since our founding, Progress Lives has earned a reputation for delivering therapeutically informed support to children aged 8–17 with emotional, behavioural and learning needs. In 2025, we proudly joined the HLTH Care family, enhancing our governance, clinical oversight and innovative care models. This partnership ensures every aspect of our service is backed by rigorous standards and a multidisciplinary team focused on best practice.
Putting the Child at the Centre
Our therapeutic approach is grounded in the SPIRAL model of enhanced therapeutic parenting. Supported by dedicated psychologists, our staff embed trauma-informed principles into each day—helping young people to regulate emotions, develop resilience and learn practical life skills. From structured routines to one-to-one sessions, every interaction is designed to build confidence and independence.
Tailored Support, Holistic Outcomes
We recognise that no two children are the same. That’s why each young person receives a bespoke care plan, co-created with families, schools and external professionals. Whether the focus is academic catch-up, social skill development or emotional wellbeing, our holistic framework addresses all facets of the child’s life—physical, educational, social and psychological.
Our Values in Action
Compassion & Respect: We listen deeply, honouring each child’s story and preferences.
Safety & Integrity: Our homes are secure, our governance transparent; accountability is paramount.
Collaboration & Excellence: We work hand-in-hand with families and experts, continually reflecting and refining our practice.
