Therapeutic Parenting Model

Therapeutic Parenting In (TPRCC) Residential Child Care

The TPRCC model has been developed from our experiences working as residential practitioners and psychologists in this sector. We understand that traumatised children require continual intervention operating in the space they live and learn — what we call "the other 23 hours".

Methodology

Our Approach

These strands will constantly oscillate depending on what the child needs from you at a given time. The steps through the middle of the DNA represent strategies practitioners apply in practice — from understanding the child's history and trauma, through structure and boundaries, attunement, connecting before correcting, conscious practice, managing trauma responses, and scaffolding personal growth — ultimately restoring the child's genuine self and building lasting resilience.
