Giving Philosophy

Lighthouse Foundation's core philosophy centers on a trauma-informed, therapeutic approach called the Lighthouse Model of Care (LMC), which integrates attachment theory and psychoanalytic thinking to create safe, nurturing environments. They believe in providing ongoing, long-term support, known as their 'On For Life' program, ensuring young people are not left unsupported after leaving care. Their approach emphasizes community collaboration and empowering young people towards independence and self-sufficiency.
