We recognize that when pressures mount, its not just the parents who carry the load. Children are deeply impacted as well. And they often need their own process.
Family Oriented Care
CARE CAN HAPPEN CONCURRENTLY
More than babsitting
Each family Intensive is planned the whole family’s needs. While parents meet with their care team, children take part in a welcoming, age-appropriate programme—with space for play, rest, creativity, and connection.
Additionally our team is equipped to handle more complex scenarios involving children, including neurodivergence, adoptive complexity and childhood grief and loss.
TCK-Informed Care
Care that understands life between cultures.
Third Culture Kids inevitably carry questions about identity, belonging, friendship, loss, transition, and what “home” means. Our team recognizes that their experience deserves care in its own right—not simply an add-on to their parents’ retreat.
Navigating change and transition is deeply complex for any individual, but especially so for children who often lack broader context and do not understand why.
Our team is skilled at helping these children ground their experience, find language to describe their feelings, and process in a healthy manner. We also strive to equip the whole family with shared common tools for further connection in the midst of difficult seasons.
Gentle structure. Meaningful care.
No pressure to perform.
Before You Arrive
01
We listen carefully and shape a plan around your family’s needs, ages, history, and capacity, taking into account any significant developmental details you share with us.
02
During Your Stay
Parents’ and children’s care happens concurrently but separately. During orientation our children’s care director reviews the content and subject matter proposed with you, allowing you to approve or veto any portion of the process.
We also create times of structured supervised play that allows you to be relieved of full-time parenting duty, creating opportunity to connect with your spouse on a date, or just take a nap.
03
As You Leave
The whole family comes back together, and the kids have an opportunity to share with their parents, what took place. Our Children’s care director will share observations, suggestions and potentially meaningful tools or resources that may help going forward.

BEGIN WITH A CONVERSATION
We will help you work out what your family needs.
You do not need to have the right words or a complete plan. A confidential enquiry is simply a place to begin, and discuss with someone who understands and can guide you.
I’m looking for care for my family
For leaders, organizations, or concerned friends.
When referring someone we encourage you to consider if the family is able to afford the required care. If you wish to reach out to us to discuss sponsorship please do so.

*We welcome, and even encourage organizations and leaders to send their teams and staff to us as guests, and even pay for their care. However we must explicitly state that the guests themselves are always our clients- never the sending organization. We will not provide any form of performance review or report to a sponsoring organization without the guest’s explicit consent, and adhere to the highest standards of confidentiality, so that we may create a safe environment for healing to occur.
QUESTIONS FAMILIES OFTEN ASK
A Few Practical Answers
-
Our team is able to handle most ages, from infant to mid-teen. Youths in their late teens are also welcome, although their programme may look more like the adult programme as their thoughts, feelings, and journey are more complex.
-
Yes. The balance of individual and shared time is adjusted for your family. We try to foster times of intentional family fun and connection, while also create meaningful buffers for parental responsibility to be temporarily suspended so that parents may rest and connect with each other.
-
No, you are welcome just as you are. However any knowledge you have and are willing to share about the health and pain points of your family helps us to create a more informed and responsive program. Knowledge of Dynamics including ADHD, neurodivergence, trauma, complex health issues, or seasons of significant transition help us tailor your experience
Additionally if you feel comfortable sharing any mental health related medication you or members of your family are currently taking or have taken in the past is relevant. There is no shame in this space, only safety and a desire to provide relevant care.
