A therapeutic community providing psychotherapy support to children and young asylum seekers
The Baobab Centre is a therapeutic community providing psychotherapy and practical support to children, adolescents and young adults who are young survivors of extreme violence, trafficking or rape and who have been compelled to leave their own country to seek safety in exile.Most are alone in the UK having lost parents and siblings in war and political violence. All live with profound trauma. The Baobab Centre aims to reduce their loneliness and isolation and rebuild their lives so they can participate in their new society. Currently we have over 60 beneficiaries. It is a testament to Baobab's success that all our beneficiaries participate in education or in paid or voluntary work. With your help, these shattered lives can be rebuilt.
