These services provide residential and therapeutic support to those suffering from EBD and other mental health, emotional, psychological, behavioural and social problems.

Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them. Autism is a spectrum condition, which means that while all people with autism share specific difficulties, their condition will affect them differently. Some people with autism can live relatively independent lives. However, others may have accompanying learning disabilities and need a lifetime of specialist support.
Our Autism Spectrum Disorder residential children’s care services are in Tyneside and County Durham in the North East of England.

Woodstone is conveniently located only three miles from Junction 63 of the A1M, with good transport links to Sunderland, Gateshead and Durhan town centres and the surrounding Chester le Street area.
It serves the greater areas of Durham, Northumberland and North Yorkshire.
All the facilities and bedrooms are built around a central courtyard providing a quiet, secure environment. Apart from the accommodation listed above, communal facilities are available, including a specially designed nursery.
Care and support is focused on the skills necessary for parents to correctly and compassionately care for babies and small children. The normal stay would be for a planned twelve weeks when a formal assessment will be carried out in conjunction with Local Authority Children’s Social Workers.
Woodstone provides support to enable a smooth transition into the wider community. It also emphasises the value of self-sufficiency in cooking and household budgeting.
