Roseacre Ward is designed to a Tier 4 specification but commissioned by ICB’s. We support women to engage in our Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT) programme, and put skills in practice to tolerate distress, regulate emotions and improve relationships. Roseacre Ward provides a care pathway for service users who are preparing to step down to community living and uses a recovery-focused model.
Roseacre Ward also provides treatment for women with complex mental illnesses and those with secondary diagnosis of mild learning disability or autism. We also accept service users with a forensic history and those stepping down from secure services.
“Just wanted to say thank you so much to all the staff at Cygnet. I’m doing really well in the community. I’ve started volunteering and I’m over 270 days self harm free. The care I received was amazing and I can’t thank the staff enough for helping me get to where I am now.”Former service user
We deliver a high level of therapeutic care and support that is underpinned by knowledge and practice of evidence-based interventions. Our individualised and group treatment programmes have clearly defined goals and outcomes for our service users. The comprehensive multi-disciplinary team includes a consultant psychiatrist, a specialty doctor, clinical psychotherapist, occupational therapist and nursing and support work team.
“I would just like to say thank you for all the work you put in to caring for my daughter. You pulled out all the stops to give her the best treatment and although it was a challenging placement I know in my heart you never gave up on her and for this I am eternally grateful.”Parent
Our therapeutic approaches:
The service is underpinned by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), including 1:1 sessions and group skills training. DBT is a proactive behavioural therapy, requiring active engagement, designed to support individuals to manage distress, regulate emotion and develop adaptive coping skills.
Care planning is supported by a model of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and each service user will have a personalised, co-produced Positive Behaviour Support plan in place to inform their care and treatment pathway.
The service is also supported by our tried and tested myPath model. To ensure we cater for each individual’s journey and achieve longterm results, we have created a unique approach to care for people with personality disorder. myPath ensures the delivery of high quality and inclusive care which is continually evaluated through robust operational and clinical governance frameworks.
On Roseacre Ward we believe that the professionals have knowledge, experience and expertise, although this is not enough to create a thriving and effective service. We hold an emphasis on co-production, which is a way of working where the valuable knowledge, experience and expertise of people that use services is encouraged in developing and enhancing the service and care.
