An alternative education provision serving young people in Dorset

Our service provides therapeutic support for those with complex and persistent SEMH and/or SEND needs. We work with young people and families on referral from schools, local councils and independent self-referrals.

On our Pathways to Adulthood programme, young adults 16+ are helped to explore their strengths and develop the practical skills needed for life, work and further learning - building confidence and resilience.

Our outreach service provides specialist, multidisciplinary support for children, young people and families experiencing periods of acute difficulties. We address the wider family system while focusing on the individual.

Dorset Wellbeing provides therapeutic support and bespoke education to children and young people across Dorset

We support children and young people (CYPs) with complex and persistent SEMH and/or SEND needs, helping them build resilience, regain confidence and develop essential life skills.

Working closely with carers, parents and professionals, our learning mentors work across multiple sites to create a safe and transformative learning space where CYPs can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

Our service provides support for those with complex and persistent SEMH and/or SEND needs. We work with young people and families on referral from both Dorset Council, BCP Council and independent self-referrals.

The Dorset Wellbeing team comprises a diverse group of dedicated learning mentors with experience across a range of professional sectors, including education, trade industries and therapeutic services.

Dorset Wellbeing offers a range of supportive environments in multiple locations across the county. Each is designed to create a nurturing and tailored experience for the young people who attend them.
