At Break we firmly believe that with the right care, there is no limit to what can be achieved.
We have a range of residential services, a fostering agency, Staying Close, Staying Connected and services for disabled children and their families.
As a trauma-informed organisation, all our young people and employees are supported by our highly skilled therapeutic team - and our lifelong offer means that even when young people leave our care, we will always be there for them.
