Inner Cornerstone
Inner Cornerstone is a specialist trauma-informed service dedicated to improving the safety, wellbeing, stability and long-term outcomes of children and young people experiencing crisis, placement instability and complex support needs.
Our Purpose
We believe every child and young person has an inner cornerstone. A foundation of worth, strength and potential that is strengthened through safety, connection, belonging and consistent, compassionate care.
Our Approach
Our therapeutic, child-centred approach recognises that healing begins with relationships. By creating safe, predictable and nurturing environments, we support emotional regulation, strengthen trust and promote stability during times of crisis and transition.
Our Impact
We recognise that emergency accommodation is a short-term response. Our goal is to create safety and stability while supporting Child Safety to achieve the most appropriate longer-term placement for every young person.
Everything we do is guided by compassion, integrity and evidence-informed practice, helping children and young people build resilience, restore hope and create stronger foundations for the future.
We don't measure success by how long a young person stays with us. We measure success by how well they transition to a stable, connected and hopeful future.
