En muchos países desarrollados a lo largo del mundo las intervenciones en acogimiento residencial para niños y adolescentes se encuentran en un momento de creciente debate. Ante esta situación, se organizó una cumbre internacional en Inglaterra (primavera de 2016) con expertos de 13 países para refl exionar sobre el acogimiento residencial terapéutico (ART). Se partió de la siguiente defi nición de ART: “el acogimiento residencial terapéutico implica el uso planifi cado de un ambiente de convivencia multidimensional, construido a propósito, diseñado para desarrollar o proveer tratamiento, educación, socialización, apoyo y protección a niños y jóvenes con necesidades reconocidas de salud mental o conductuales, en cooperación con sus familias y la colaboración de un amplio espectro recursos comunitarios formales e informales”. La reunión se caracterizó por el intercambio de información y evidencias y la preparación de una agenda internacional de investigación. Además, se discutieron las bases para una declaración de consenso. Esta declaración, originalmente publicada en inglés y ahora reproducida en español, comprende, entreotras cuestiones, cinco principios básicos de acogimiento que de acuerdo con el grupo de trabajo en acogimiento residencial terapéutico deben guiar el acogimiento residencial de jóvenes que se preste en todo momento.

In many developed countries around the world residential care interventions for children and adolescents have come under increasing scrutiny. Against this background an international summit was organised in England (spring 2016) with experts from 13 countries to reflect on therapeutic residential care (TRC). The following working definition of TRC was leading: “Therapeutic residential care involves the planful use of a purposefully constructed, multi-dimensional living environment designed to enhance or provide treatment, education, socialization, support, and protection to children and youth with identified mental health or behavioral needs in partnership with their families and in collaboration with a full spectrum of community based formal and informal helping resources”. The meeting was characterised by exchange of information and evidence, and by preparing an international research agenda. In addition, the outlines of a consensus statement on TRC were discussed. This statement, originally published in English and now reproduced in a Spanish translation, comprises inter alia five basic principles of care that according to the Work Group on Therapeutic Residental Care should be guiding for residential youth care provided at any time.

Abstract

In many developed countries around the world residential care interventions for children and adolescents have come under increasing scrutiny. Against this background an international summit was organised in England (spring 2016) with experts from 13 countries to reflect on therapeutic residential care (TRC). The following working definition of TRC was leading: “Therapeutic residential care involves the planful use of a purposefully constructed, multi-dimensional living environment designed to enhance or provide treatment, education, socialization, support, and protection to children and youth with identified mental health or behavioral needs in partnership with their families and in collaboration with a full spectrum of community based formal and informal helping resources”. The meeting was characterised by exchange of information and evidence, and by preparing an international research agenda. In addition, the outlines of a consensus statement on TRC were discussed. This statement, originally published in English and now reproduced in a Spanish translation, comprises inter alia five basic principles of care that according to the Work Group on Therapeutic Residental Care should be guiding for residential youth care provided at any time.
