Head of clinical services and clinical lead at Resicare Antony Bainbridge underlined the company's dedication to helping children who have often been relocated from their homes because of safety issues or learning and physical challenges. "We offer a reunification pathway model," Antony said, outlining how usually youngsters spend 12 to 16 weeks in their facility before being reintegrated into their homes or foster care.

Antony related a specific case involving a recently admitted pupil from the area under their custody. The child had been kept hidden at home because of actions judged culturally improper, including public nakedness. His parents battled to control these habits, which finally caused the boy to isolate himself. The youngster achieved great improvement with focused interventions comprising play therapy and speech and language therapy. Emphasizing the good results of the child's stay, Antony said, "his behavior had changed dramatically and his English had improved enormously by the time he was released."

Founded in 2020, Resicare Alliance seeks to establish inclusive, safe, orderly surroundings where children with mental health issues, autism, and learning difficulties may flourish, With more than thirty students spread among its eleven households, Antony said the institution is now running at eighty percent capacity.

Antony did, however, also draw attention to various difficulties his team faces, especially with relation to the emergence of student online bullying. He said he wanted the internet to not exist since it can both be a useful tool and a cause of stress for kids. The COVID-19 epidemic worsened this state of affairs, which resulted in a notable rise in mental health problems including anxiety and depression among young people. "We are seeing a great rise in mental health issues," he said, pointing the finger on social isolation during lockdowns.

One major worry now is also the more sinister sides of social networking. Antony pointed out that young people and children are prone to cyberbullying, which often results in major effects such body dysmorphic problems and eating disorders. "Social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter can be negative for mental health," he said. Antony has seen young individuals who have tried suicide because of cyberbullying or stalking, which emphasizes the need of a more reasonable viewpoint on the part social media plays in the life of young people.

Antony clarified that the youngsters have to be stabilized and given a set daily schedule to help them during their stay at Resicare Alliance. Many of these kids are dysregulated and need major direction to get back on track. "We create a very regimented environment from morning rituals to meal times and bedtime, which is often lacking in their home life," he said.

For the children, this consistency is absolutely vital since it provides the control, stabilization, and caring they need to negotiate their paths. Every child is evaluated personally, Antony stressed, to make sure their needs fit the offerings of Resicare Alliance. "Through our care, we aim to create an environment that fits the particular needs of every child, so enabling them to flourish and grow," he said.

All things considered, the founding of Resicare Alliance in the United Arab Emirates marks a significant first in helping kids dealing with behavioral problems and mental health concerns, Resicare wants to establish a loving environment that promotes development and reintegration into family life by concentrating on stabilization, organized routines, and tackling the issues presented by modern technology. Emphasizing the requirement of knowing and meeting each child in their care, Antony Bainbridge's observations expose a caring attitude to mental health treatment.
