The specialists in teen and family mental health
Proud to be a Little Bit Different
We are committed to changing the way that young people and families experience mental health care. We designed our treatment to address the unique needs of teenagers, young adults and families. We understand that young people have a whole life ahead of them, and that their mental health concerns are only part of the picture. We take time to understand the whole family and work together to create solutions that work within the family system. We look at not just the cause of the current concerns by focusing on the aspects that may be maintaining the problems. Parenting a child with mental health concerns is a challenging task, which often leads to exhaustion and can feel overwhelming. Our role is to build futures to be proud of, built on hope and mutual understanding.
Designed with Young People at Heart
The Wave Programmes
Specialist care for Teens and Families takes a village surrounded by experts who care. Our specialist programs for Eating Disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder, Emotional Dysregulation, Behavioural Challenges and Mental Health, have been created to support the changes that young people experience as they move from Childhood into emerging adulthood. Change is tricky. Having additional needs can make this key developmental period even more so. Our programs have been designed to integrate child and adolescent psychiatry with innovative psychotherapy, education, interpersonal relationship building and a world of great experiences. Our job is to create futures that sparkle.
Current research demonstrates that Children, Teenagers and Young Adults benefit from mental health treatment that is focused. Sharing experiences with other young people is paramount. In fact, young people not only recover from mental health concerns more quickly, they stay well and that makes all the difference in recovery. Creating safe spaces for young people and the people who love them is at the center of The Wave. Stability, Adventure and clinical excellence in the treatment of teens is at the heart of everything we do.
A safe space to truly transform and heal from the past
Why Do Young People and Families Choose The Wave?
At The Wave, our trauma-focused mental health and eating disorder programs – for teenagers and young adults – are experiential and creative, designed to build a strong foundation that leads to a lifetime of wellness and recovery.
Our unique approach offers treatment plans tailored to each young person’s specific needs with an equally weighted focus on full recovery and positive growth.
The Wave programs create a safe space to truly transform and heal from the past. We focus on providing the care and support needed for our young people and their families to work through the process of change and give them hope that change is possible.
An essential part of building that hope is being able to feel that recovery is possible, which is why our programs encourage active enquiry, getting involved, trying out new skills and activities, and being part of a community. We provide opportunities for our young people to change direction and find a new path through shared experiences.
We understand that young people need time, stability and a safe space to recover from eating disorders, mental illness and addictions. Our minimum stay of 12 weeks ensures that our teenagers and young adults enjoy a stable community and benefit from minimal disruption during their treatment at The Wave.
Our young people leave us believing in themselves. Our families leave feeling heard and empowered.
The other big lesson is that mental health requires a deep involvement and interest from a range of practitioners and not all are willing to get involved with the depth and interest that is needed. One of the possible consequences is having our children live a life way more limited than their potential. I bring this up also to say that the care, kindness and involvement provided at The Wave Clinic exceeded all my expectations and previous experiences.
Coming from a Southern European family and environment, I felt our family was deeply involved in the treatment plan carried out by The Wave Clinic in all stages of treatment. And this provided for an extra level of support when my world seemed to be crumbling apart.
