Althea Park was conceived in the mid 1990s to provide a female only residential alternative to hospital for complex and enduring eating disorder clients, who otherwise had become caught up in a cycle of repeated admissions.
Offering a psycho-social model alongside more standardised intervention, the service affords uniquely individual treatment packages aimed at helping their clients, adolescent or adult, to rediscover a sense of self outside their eating disorder and empower them to return to the community with a sense of purpose.
The service has also established a self harm unit for adolescents and operates it's own 'safe tolerance' approach to harm minimisation. Newcombe House offers 8 places to young people aged 13 - 18 years.
