Situated in Treherbert in the Rhonda Valley which has a strong friendly community ethos, Ty Mynydd provides intensive relational support for women in a residential care setting. People referred may have complex needs relating to serious and enduring mental illness and or personality disorder. They may also have a diagnosis of Autism and or mild learning disabilities.

Many of the women who are referred have stepped down from either secure or locked rehabilitation services and may have a history of self-harm and trauma / abuse. Our experienced and skilled staff team support the women to develop safer ways of coping, using a range of evidencebased approaches integrated into our RISE programme.

These include evidence based DBT, MBT and complex trauma approaches We co-produce each person’s recovery support plan Above all we understand the importance of relational care, and of supporting the whole system to manage the emotions that can be activated when supporting people in severe distress with complex needs
