Behaviour that challenges
Five all-male homes for men with mental health needs whose behaviour has challenged other services. We look for what's behind the behaviour, and we stay with them.
Our figures, all in one place.

Who it's for
Men aged 18 and over with mental health needs, whose behaviour may include:
- verbal or physical aggression, often linked to distress
- behaviour linked to drug or alcohol misuse
- disengaging from support, going missing, or self-neglect
- a history of evictions or placement breakdowns with other providers
These services are for men whose main need is their mental health.

How we support men
- Behaviour support plans. Each man has his own plan, built with him and reviewed regularly.
- Psychology-led. Our Psychology Lead helps the team understand what drives each man's behaviour, so we respond to the cause and not only the incident.
- A consistent team with clear boundaries. The same staff, clear expectations, firm but fair.
- Substance misuse support. Recovery-focused support built into the home.
- An all-male team, awake 24 hours a day.
What we work towards
- Fewer incidents over time.
- A placement that holds where previous ones broke down.
- Less substance misuse.
- Stepping down to lower support.
“Behaviour is communication. When you understand what's behind it, and you don't give up on someone, placements stop breaking down.”
Sukhbir Singh Ahluwalia, Founder & Managing DirectorConnect on LinkedIn
“Most of the men we support here have been moved on again and again. What they need is somewhere that doesn't give up on them, and a team trained to understand why.”

What we do differently
- Specialists included. Our own psychology, nutrition and activities team is part of one weekly rate, with no bolt-on charges.
- A full pathway with one provider. People move from 24-hour support to lower support and on to our own move-on studio flats, keeping the team who know them.
- Fast, straight answers. Our median time from referral to assessment is 3 days. If a placement isn't right, we tell you, and we explain why.
- Digital and transparent. Our records are digital, and we share service-level reports with placing authorities.
Our commitments
- Everyone has a move-on plan from the day they arrive.
- We track placement stability, move-on and readmissions for everyone we support, and share service-level reports with placing authorities.
- If a placement isn't right, we say so, and explain why.
- When we find something that works, we share it with the sector.
Leading the change
Our goal is simple: nobody stuck. No one should stay in a service longer than they need to. To get there:
- We are opening more specialist services.
- We are growing into new boroughs.
- As our data builds, we will publish our outcomes openly.
Questions
Will you consider a man whose previous placements have broken down?
Yes. Many of the men we support come to us after other placements have broken down. We assess every referral individually.
Do you support people with a learning disability in these homes?
These homes are for men whose main need is their mental health.
How quickly will I hear back?
Our median time from referral to assessment is 3 days, and 82% of people are assessed within a week.
