Home From Home
This film explores the importance of the new TCT units in the treatment and recovery of teenagers, with former and current patients providing their experiences of their time in hospital and the difference these vital units can make. By creating a “home from home” environment for young people being treated, they are able to concentrate on being teenagers and experiencing normality as much as possible.
