As Christmas and 2025 draw to a close, many of us at Therapeutic Blueprint have found ourselves reflecting on the enormous juggle that the festive season often brings - from navigating school holidays and coordinating family visits, to Santa duties, celebrations, and everything in between, this time of year can feel both joyful and overwhelming in equal measure. These reflections came together during our annual staff Christmas Party, where the team took time to share the high

The final week of 2025 ended on an exciting note for Therapeutic Blueprint, as Eleanor and Hannah came together for a collaborative meet-up that left us full of inspiration and anticipation for what’s to come. The pair were delighted to spend the day with James from Proud Phoenix Club, marking an important step forward in an upcoming collaboration that has been quietly taking shape behind the scenes. The day was filled with conversation, creativity, and shared values, as we e

As the year draws to a close, the Therapeutic Blueprint podcast has also taken a moment to pause and reflect. This month, the panel released two final episodes for the year - each offering something slightly different, yet both rooted in reflection, learning, and connection. The first episode, “The Responsible Individual,”  explores the vital role of the Responsible Individual within a children’s home. The conversation looks beyond job titles and policies, delving into what r

Today’s teenagers are growing up in a world that moves faster than ever before. From the pressures of academic performance to the constant comparison culture of social media, young people are navigating challenges that can significantly impact their emotional wellbeing. With mental health concerns continuing to rise amongst teens, it is vital that we champion initiatives designed to promote resilience, confidence, and connection. That’s why we are delighted to support an insp

As we head towards December, the weeks leading up to Christmas can feel magical - twinkling lights, festive school events, warm drinks, and a sense of excitement in the air, but for many carers, parents, and professionals, this time of year also brings a unique level of juggle. From school nativity plays to festive concerts, end-of-term commitments, emotional ups and downs, and the annual challenge of Christmas shopping for teenagers - the road to Christmas can quickly become

At Therapeutic Blueprint, we are proud to deliver the Foundations for Attachment Programme (Kim Golding, 2015) , based on the principles of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) . This highly regarded therapeutic parenting programme is designed for those supporting children and young people who have experienced developmental trauma, including early attachment disruptions, loss, separation, and relational harm.

At Therapeutic Blueprint, our aim has always been to make therapeutic knowledge accessible, practical, and impactful for everyone involved in a child’s care journey. We understand that working within the children’s residential care sector, or supporting children with developmental trauma, can come with challenges that test even the most dedicated caregivers. That’s why we’ve created a growing library of free resources that are designed to support you in your everyday practice

This month, the Therapeutic Blueprint team have been reflecting on the importance of navigating feelings - both our own and those of the children we care for. Emotions form the foundation of connection, communication, and understanding, especially in the early stages of life, yet helping young children to recognise, express, and regulate their feelings isn’t always easy - it takes time, patience, and attunement. We wanted to share a fantastic resource from The Centre for Earl

This month’s podcast delves into a topic that sits at the heart of many children’s journeys within residential care - reunification. Often described as “the path home,” reunification is far more than a simple return to a familiar house or family structure. It is a deeply emotional, layered process that touches the lives of children, families, and professionals alike. At its core, reunification represents hope and healing, but it also carries challenges, uncertainty, and the n
