Shalamar Children is a brand that operates residential children's homes in rural Essex. With a therapeutic approach, their aim is to resolve issues in young people rather than simply containing them. They believe that behavior is a form of communication and strive to understand the meaning behind negative behavior.

Shalamar Children uses Dan Hughes' PACE method, which stands for Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy, to form positive attachments with the young people in their care. They create a stable and secure environment where young people can heal and develop. Through daily community meetings, young people have the opportunity to voice their issues and feel listened to, boosting their confidence and self-esteem.

Shalamar Children understands that children displaying challenging behavior may have experienced trauma, and they provide appropriate treatment based on the child's developmental/emotional age. They also employ a psychodynamic behavioral approach to bring subconscious issues to the conscious level. With their commitment to nurturing attachment and bringing about positive change, Shalamar Children aims to provide a supportive and caring environment for all young people in their care
