In keeping with the focus on the SocialEcology of the young person and family, the aim of interventions is to develop an ecology around the young person that is both supportive and safe in terms of basic needs, but also Integrative - insofar as it not only helps a young person to experience different interventions and 'work-streams' as being collaborative rather than conflictual, but also because it allows the young person the psychological space and freedom to start to explore new understandings of what conspired to bring about the present difficuties and what might be the most effective ways forwards. This bears much in relation to the notion (from Attachment theory) of the Secure Base.

Taking Responsibility for integration is one of the Core Features of AMBIT, this develops further the rationale for delivering different modalities of intervention from a single point/person and if necessary simultaneously.
