WELCOME TO MY OASIS THERAPEUTIC ALTERNATIVE PROVISION (TAP)


PROFESSIONALISM, HAVING THE HIGHEST EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND DEVELOPING
STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE AT THE HEART OF
EVERYTHING WE DO AT MY OASIS

Situated in the center of Standish, My Oasis is a Therapeutic Alternative
Provision (TAP) which supports young people of secondary school age with social,
emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), as well as young people with a
diagnosis of Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND). Young people are
referred to us through partner Local Authorities and from mainstream schools
primarily located within Wigan, Chorley, Preston and South Ribble. We
subsequently offer a broad and balanced curriculum to vulnerable students who
have often been disengaged in education for a long time.

At My Oasis we use trauma-informed and specialist therapeutic approaches to
re-engage students in their education. Being one of the only provisions in the
area that merge health services with education. We are passionate about giving
our young people the skills they need to make a valuable contribution to society
and to fulfil their dreams. At My Oasis we recognise how education is not a ‘one
size fits all’ model therefore we carefully tailor our provision to meet every
student’s individual needs.


ABOUT US

At My Oasis, we support young people between the ages of 11-16 years through
providing a personalised provision and access to evidence-based interventions to
facilitate reintegration into mainstream education. We use a variety of
therapeutic approaches to re-engage students, with young people having access to
psychotherapy and counselling provided by qualified therapists, as well as their
own designated mentor to act as a guide throughout their placement at My Oasis.

Many years ago, Charlotte Lowe developed a Mental Health Model for Schools
following a recognition of the increased need to provide emotional support to
both students and staff within an educational setting. This model has been
rolled out successfully across numerous primary and secondary schools situated
within Lancashire and South Wales, with multiple articles being published
outlining how schools could apply this model in their setting. Charlotte had
campaigned tirelessly for years to make changes to young people’s mental health
and ensure more support is available for them within an educational setting.
This has included setting up a petition to argue for mental health to be taught
on the school curriculum, prior to the government making it statutory for Mental
Health to be taught within PHSE lessons. In addition, Charlotte argued for the
urgent need to recruit more therapists and counsellors within schools before
Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) were implemented in schools across the
country.

After over twenty years of working in health and education, Charlotte has argued
for the need to merge the two systems to ensure a young person’s needs can be
met holistically. The Tiered Support Services offered to schools and the
development of My Oasis TAP have therefore been established because of this. My
Oasis offers placements to students on a short and long-term basis to aid with
their reintegration back into mainstream school. Through the academic and
specialist therapeutic support offered to young people, we aim to overcome any
barriers and re-engage students in their learning through providing them with a
personalised package of support and access to evidence-based psychotherapies and
counselling. Interventions delivered are based on recent developments and
academic research in psychology and neuroscience, with support being offered not
only during a student’s placement with us but also during their transition back
into mainstream.

We believe that supporting students in overcoming any mental health difficulties
they might be experiencing, facilitating the development of healthy coping
strategies and building confidence in terms of their educational progress will
increase the likelihood of successful reintegration. In addition, we aim to
cultivate a healthy and productive lifestyle in students, grow personal
resilience, as well as facilitate the development the skills and values required
to become responsible members of society.

My Oasis has now grown to consist of a dedicated team of professionals who all
share the same passion, values and compassion towards the students we support,
ensuring each young person referred to us feels valued and part of the My Oasis
family. We have now passed all the quality assurance checks and are registered
with both Lancashire and Wigan Local Authorities, being recognised as an
alternative educational provision which makes a positive difference to the lives
of students on placement with us. We have recently applied to Ofsted and are
currently in the process of become registered as an Independent Alternative
Provision School.

THE TIER SYSTEM


TARGETED INTERVENTIONS

The tiered approach we adhere to at My Oasis is not necessarily based on how

more so a stepped care approach to supporting students in terms of their
emotional health and facilitate re-engagement in their education.
