Specialist Residential Care for Children and Young People
with Mental Health, Emotional and Complex Care Needs
Cove Care is a truly unique service, operating within the social care sector, while aiming a range of clinical and social care services at young people with clear, or suspected, mental health needs.
Setting up Cove back in 2008, our goal was ambitious, but simple: to fill the gap in the sector with quality, specialist placements for young people, either who are being discharged from in-patient CAMHS and require skilled support and rehabilitation in the community, or as an effective, safe alternative to an in-patient admission.
Now well-established with several residential placements within the West Midlands regions, and a clear plan for ongoing developments, we remain committed to this mission today.
We Provide a professional understanding of mental health needs in young people
Like the term ‘Cove’ (a sanctuary, a safe place, an inlet protected from the stormy sea) our specialist residential care environments provide protection, warmth and consistency for those who use our services.

Other Services

Mental Health First Aid
Our in-house mental health training is extensive, and includes a range of supportive teaching sessions delivered by our qualified senior management team, and also ‘Mental Health First Aid (Young People)’ training.

Professional Psychriatric Liaison
With extensive CAMHS experience within NHS and independent sector services, our senior management team can liaise and communicate professionally with CAMHS teams and clinicians.

Model of Care
This model conceptualizes how we deliver care at Cove. It is envisaged that young people’s needs can be divided into the broad headings of their Safeguarding, Health and Success, and skilled Cove key workers, under the supervision of qualified mental health or therapeutic professionals, will assess these needs and devise specific care plans in each area.
