Our homes are built around consistency, compassion, and meaningful relationships, because we know that healing happens when young people feel truly seen and supported.

At HeartSpire, behaviour is understood, not judged. We use trauma-informed, humanistic care to help young people rebuild trust, develop resilience, and learn that their actions have meaning and impact. Clear boundaries, restorative responses, and stable routines create the safety young people need to grow.

We believe children are experts in their own experiences. That’s why young people are actively involved in shaping their care, their goals, and their future. We work closely with families, social workers, and professionals to ensure every placement is thoughtful, well-matched, and purposeful.

HeartSpire is more than a home.
It’s a place of belonging, healing, and hope.

Our Heart

HeartSpire is more than a service. It's a place of healing, belonging, and hope. Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and inspired to thrive.

Here, healing begins with heart.

The HEART Framework

RELATIONAL | RESPONSIVE | ROOTED IN LOVE

The Heartspire Framework is rooted in creating the conditions for holistic wellbeing, safety, and relational growth. It views the home not just as a place of care, but as a vibrant lifespace community.

Safety is a human right. Without it, the foundation for happiness, growth, and secure attachments cannot be sustained.

While many traditional approaches focus on behaviour control, Heartspire invites us to explore the emotional, relational, and systemic roots of conflict.

Therapeutic Environment

Connection. Consistency. Compassion.

The HEART Framework is our relational approach to care. It guides how we respond to behaviour, build safety, and support emotional growth.

Simply put, HEART helps us create homes where children feel:

  • Safe enough to settle
  • Supported enough to grow
  • Valued enough to thrive

Our Team

At HeartSpire, our team is the heart of everything we do.

They are carefully chosen not just for their qualifications, but for their emotional intelligence, integrity, and capacity to care. This is a team that understands behaviour as communication, stays calm in complexity, and shows up with consistency even on the hardest days.

Our staff are reflective, trauma-informed, and deeply relational. They balance warmth with boundaries, compassion with accountability, and empathy with purpose.
