About us
Who we are
Who we are
Changing Lives Building Dreams (CLBD) is a small independent, family run organisation. At CLBD we believe everyone we support should have a fun, happy, meaningful, flourishing life. We believe every day is a fresh exciting new opportunity to write a new chapter.
CLBD was created from a dissatisfaction and disillusionment with the current system. The directors felt that there was a lack of provision for people moving out of hospital into community settings.
At CLBD, we provide specialist services to individuals with learning disabilities, autism or mental health needs. These individuals often have complex needs and may present with behaviours of concern within the environments they are in. CLBD specialises in supporting individuals to make the transition from hospitals to community placements and the long- term maintenance of these placements.
CLBD do not look at service users in isolation, but focus upon a whole approach, with a focus upon the interpersonal relationships between staff, service users and the environment. Our support is based upon adopting a Low Arousal Approach to managing and preventing behaviours of concern within a wellbeing and practice leadership framework. There is also an implicit focus on the impact of the organisation, stress management, wellbeing and trauma awareness and its role in providing flourishing environments for all. We are also committed to providing resilient, well-trained staff teams achieved through comprehensive training and ongoing support mechanisms.
Our mission is to provide specialist healthcare with the aim of providing a safe and homely environment that promotes empowerment, independence and choice whilst enhancing the individuals with their daily living skills. Where possible, we involve service users and their families/carers in the decision making process that affects the service we provide.
