The
Amicus Community is a new and innovative therapeutic residential project
for severely emotionally troubled children between the ages of five
and ten. Through two affiliated family sized homes, based in the community,
it aims to care and work with children who are unable to manage or
be managed within normal families whether birth, adoptive or foster.
At the same time their young age and emotional vulnerability will
make large traditional children’s homes unsuitable and inappropriate.
