Social Therapy
An integrated approach
In Great Britain and Ireland thousands people have benefited as students and residents in over 60 centres – intentional communities and villages, care homes and training centres. Teachers, support workers and carers work together with volunteers. Work-based study and training is provided in a variety of academic and practical settings, from induction to degree level. Placements are generally funded by local authorities and government bodies.
All centres work with a multidisciplinary approach involving care, education, arts, crafts, therapies and meaningful work. They aim to provide the fullest possible experience of spiritual, cultural and social life. All are registered with and inspected by the appropriate statutory authorities.
