We aim to support the patient to move to supported accommodation or independent living in the community. Successful delivery of our rehabilitation outcomes is accomplished by having a skilled workforce and strong therapeutic relationships with patients that are built upon trust, respect, compassion and mutual expectations.

Trauma awareness is at the forefront of the service development within Victoria Gardens. We work towards the principles of trauma awareness, with the aim to become a trauma-informed service. Staff across all departments are engaged in trauma training which will become part of the ongoing training programme to upskill staff to maximise care delivery.

The support we offer

Victoria Gardens has a strengths-based approach to delivering safe and effective care, treatment and rehabilitation. We aim to improve patient experiences and outcomes by understanding the impact adverse life events may have on a patient’s mental health and seek to provide physical, psychological and emotional safety, prevent re-traumatisation, allow patients to address past trauma and develop skills to live in the community.

Individually tailored treatment plans help patients develop skills to enable them to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment in their lives. Staff from all disciplines engage in tailored trauma awareness training and follow evidence-based action plans to develop and embed a trauma-informed approach across all aspects of the service.

Who we support

Victoria Gardens has one rehabilitation ward for women and two rehabilitation wards for men who have different support needs and may form part of a pathway during the patient’s admission. In addition, there are four flats in which patients can make progress in independence, in which the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) will work with the individual to enhance the patient’s individual skills. Patients may be admitted directly to a ward or a flat.
