These precious Gems—children and their families—deserve tailored services that can enhance their opportunities for a brighter future.
Treasure Keepers provides specialised psychological support and interventions for young people, caregivers, adoptive parents, birth parents, and professionals working with children and young people who have complex emotional and behavioural challenges stemming from trauma or mental health issues.

"The high-quality assessments help families and professionals understand the child’s trauma and the dynamics in the family. The assessment reports are very detailed. Agency staff spend time with families and professionals to explain the summary of the findings. As a result, children and families feel fully supported throughout the assessment process."

'Most children and families show improved emotional well-being as a result of the therapeutic support that they receive from the agency. This is demonstrated through increased confidence, resilience and their ability to manage difficult feelings. One parent described the individual progress for their child as ‘huge’. This child moved from not accepting any physical contact, to a child who climbed onto their parent’s knee for a cuddle and sang a nursery rhyme. The parent said, ‘The first time he [the child] sang a nursery rhyme to me, I cried.’ Official Ofsted Report 2022
