Families Concerns

"Is one week really enough to make a difference?"

While short, the week is intentionally intensive—combining therapeutic structure, practical challenges and expert 1:1 input. Families regularly report noticeable improvements in emotional regulation, communication and behaviour after just 7 days with many continuing to see progress long after residential ends. For teens experiencing deeper issues then a longer period of time may be more suitable. We can also provide ongoing support.

"We're worried that our son won't engage without technology or home comforts.

" Many teens initially resist the idea of disconnecting but once immersed in the calm, structured environment they will often respond with surprising openness. Without digital distractions they begin to reflect, connect and engage in ways that aren't possible at home and this shift is often the turning point families are seeking.

Private Family Reviews

Families share their experiences about my transformative Family Support.

"Hi Damon Just a short line to say that J has been great at home, there has been an improvement in his behaviour, no problems getting up in the morning, not a cross word has been had and it has been really nice to have J be J!! J has been responding when asked to do things and is better organised which reduces as some would say stress.

"Dear Damon You will recall that a couple of years ago a young man called Alex spent some time under your care in Wales. I'm very pleased to report that he's now graduated from college and doing very well, thanks almost certainly to you. Would you consider offering the same assistance to his brother who has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactive disorder and behavioural difficulties?. We now want to send his younger Brother"
