At Thrive we offer care for children and young people needing a break from their carers, parents and family in our Ashtonfield home. These placements are called Specialised Substitute Residential Care and are available for a child or young person who need a short stay away from their parent(s) or carers. We work closely with the , parents, carers, the Department of Communities & Justice (DCJ) & designated agencies to provide therapeutic support at a time when it is most needed.
The Thrive team are available 24 hours 7 days a week to provide support and supervision to children and young people in a home-like environment.
