Third Hand Youth Services
Who We Support
We provide care for children and young people aged 8–18 who may present with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties (SEMH/EBD). Many of our young people have experienced trauma, neglect, or disrupted attachments.
We focus on those who need stability, consistency, and therapeutic care in a safe home setting. We do not provide placements for children whose primary needs are profound learning disabilities requiring specialist provision, ongoing substance dependency, or high-risk behaviours that cannot be safely supported in a small home environment.
Our Homes
Currently, Third Hand Youth Services operates one home: 83 Roberts Road, High Wycombe.
The home accommodates up to three children and young people (one on the ground floor, two on the first floor), each with their own en-suite bedroom. Shared spaces include a lounge, dining room, kitchen, garden, and staff facilities. It is located close to schools, healthcare, and community amenities.
A Child-centred Approach
We focus on overcoming particular behavioural or emotional difficulties a youngster is experiencing.
By engaging with them, to help them make sense of their feelings, we work with them to help them overcome barriers they may experience with learning, making friends, behaving in an acceptable way and dealing with social situations.
- We also support families to provide them with a greater understanding of the young person’s emotional or behavioural difficulties, as well as tools and techniques to help improve relationships.
