People in recovery can stay with children
A Plymouth-based service for women and girls in Plymouth has rebranded one of its services.
Trevi's Jasmine Mother & Child Residential Family Assessment Centre is newly registered by Ousted and helps women in recovery stay with their children.
It has built on what it calls "strengths-based parenting" for mothers who misuse substances, supported by an all-female team of family assessment practitioners and support workers.
The charity says that last year, 83 per cent of women left Jasmine drug and alcohol-free, and eight out of 10 children were able to remain with their mothers after leaving.
Jasmine accepts people from across the the country, as moving away from home can play a vital part in helping women establish a ‘clean’ life and start life away from past influences.
Manager Margaret Bersey says: "This rebranding represents our commitment to evolving with the needs of the women and families we serve. By incorporating a strengths-based parenting assessment into our services, we are not only addressing substance use but also empowering mothers to be the best parents they can be."
