Comments From Social Workers
"As a residential unit Harkness House offers an excellent service, in my opinion the relationship that staff have with the young people is a particular strength. The unit has a homely environment and it is clear that MB is genuinely care for and cared about. The therapeutic element is outstanding and it is a shame that MB will not allow herself to access this".
"The therapeutic service that is an integral part of Future in Mind is outstanding as is the commitment of the manager and the staff to MB".
"From the outset I was impressed by their demonstration of their commitment to this child over and above my greatest expectations."
"Due to the care and support she received she was able to flourish and make significant progress in all areas."
"It is to the credit of Future In Mind that they continue to help and support this child who is now living independently in the community without any financial reward."
