About the service Ty Hydref is a four bedded children’s home based in Templeton, Pembrokeshire, that provides long-term residential care for up to four children & young people who are looked after. The underpinning philosophy of our children’s homes is to support them through a range of needs such as early childhood trauma, attachment disorders, dysregulated behaviours and those who have been subject to various placement breakdowns.
Our Residential Support Workers use various therapeutic approaches such as DDP (Dyadic Development Practice) as well as PACE (Playfulness, Curiosity, Acceptance and Empathy) and by adopting these models, we enable them to come to terms with their past and build on the skills needed to achieve the best possible outcomes.
