Who is My Stride?

Gang and Radicalisation Intervention Program (GRIP)

Our specialised GRIP home offers single gender placements for young males aged between 11 to 18 focusing on young males who have been criminally exploited or radicalised.

 

Our unique approach seeks to ensure children and young people feel safe, secure, not judged, accepted and understood, by providing specialist care for young males with a range of complex needs which have resulted from the trauma they have experienced.

​

These complex needs can often stem from the impact of uninvolved parents, abuse and neglect, violence, gang radicalisation, and poor social environment. These experiences can leave young people with complex emotional and behavioural and mental health needs, which can increase their vulnerability to abuse (Bazalgette, Rahilly, and Trevelyan, 2015; Luke et al, 2014), emotional and behaviour needs including disability.

 

We provide trauma-informed therapeutic residential services, helping young males gain stability, a sense of purpose, and an understanding of how their experience may have impacted on their own sense of self. We provide the opportunity to support and to help them identify what is important to them and to have a say in their choices and their own care.

 

We offer care and support of the highest quality and help to prepare young people for the future that they deserve.
