“ I would like to formally acknowledge and commend the exceptional efforts of Youthhaven in providing supported accommodation for a young person with highly complex and extremely challenging behaviours.
This experience highlights not only the service’s ability to manage high-risk placements, but also their integrity and resilience in extremely difficult circumstances. I would not hesitate to recommend Youthhaven to other local authorities seeking specialist supported accommodation for young people with complex needs. ”
Knowing my daughter was safe, supported, and truly cared for brought me peace of mind. Her confidence has grown so much since she joined Youth Haven. I can't thank the team enough for their dedication.
The key worker I was matched with became a real mentor to me. He helped me set goals, stay on track with school, and believe in myself again. I finally feel like I have a future to look forward to.
Youth Haven is one of the most reliable placements I’ve worked with. They offer personalised support and always go the extra mile to meet the emotional and practical needs of the young people we refer.
My brother finally found a place where he feels understood and cared for. The progress he’s made in just a few months is amazing. Youth Haven gave us hope again.
