Therapeutic Community at Holina Village

At Holina Youth Village, we believe that true recovery comes from a community-centered approach. Our therapeutic community model helps teens and young adults build emotional resilience, self-esteem, and personal growth through peer support, shared responsibility, and holistic treatment. Based in Cyprus, we provide services to both local and international clients, offering English-speaking rehabilitation for teens and young adults from across Europe and beyond.

Our therapeutic community is centered on addiction recovery, mental health support, and trauma healing. By participating in group therapy, adventure-based programs, and family therapy, residents learn to support one another, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and rebuild their sense of self-worth. This community-driven approach is an integral part of our treatment for teen depression, addiction, and young adult mental health services.

What is a Therapeutic Community?

The Foundation of Our Approach:

A therapeutic community is a structured, community-based treatment program that focuses on helping individuals heal through mutual support, personal responsibility, and emotional growth. At Holina Youth Village, residents actively participate in their recovery process and work together to build a safe and supportive environment. This model is designed to help teens and young adults learn from one another, build trust, and break down the barriers that often hinder their recovery.

Peer Support and Shared Responsibility:

In a therapeutic community, everyone has a role to play. Residents work together, share their experiences, and support each other’s healing process. By taking on responsibilities, teens and young adults develop a sense of purpose and ownership in their recovery journey. The peer support aspect of this model is key to rebuilding self-confidence and fostering personal responsibility.

UCLan Cyprus and Holina Cyprus.

Memorandum of Understanding

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between UCLan Cyprus and Holina Cyprus on the 25th of October 2022 at the premises of the British University of Cyprus. The purpose of the Memorandum is to provide a framework of collaboration between UCLan Cyprus and Holina Cyprus, in areas of teaching, research, science, innovation and applied experience, aiming to support the well-being of Holina Cyprus’s residents, to foster, as well as develop employability skills for youth and young adults who deal with behavioural health issues.

Holina Cyprus serves as a young person’s community, offering its residents a holistic mental and spiritual support system for youth and young adults to feel safe and trusted and thus overcome behavioural health issues of various forms. With the support of a team of psychologists and psychotherapists who are among the best in the world, Holina Youth Village creates a life-changing programme, which offers an innovative approach to the healing process by incorporating educational and teaching objectives. UCLan Cyprus, with its unique blend of academic and practical experience, as well as its unparallel commitment to initiatives which promote the health and well-being of youth, will develop an innovative educational programme on various courses which present a special interest to Holina Village Youth residents.

How the Therapeutic Community Works:

Daily Activities in the Therapeutic Community:

Every day, residents of Holina Youth Village engage in group therapy, workshops, team-building activities, and individual counseling. These activities are designed to promote emotional healing, communication, and personal accountability. The therapeutic environment encourages openness, trust, and vulnerability, allowing individuals to work through their struggles in a safe, supportive setting.

Community Support and Shared Healing:

The therapeutic community at Holina Youth Village provides a space where teens and young adults can heal together. Through group therapy and shared experiences, residents learn valuable life skills like conflict resolution, self-regulation, and healthy relationship-building. This collective healing is essential for lasting recovery.

Family Therapy Integration:

The healing process is not just for the individual; it also extends to the family. Family therapy is an integral part of our therapeutic community model. Families are encouraged to participate in counseling sessions to help rebuild trust, improve communication, and create a healthier home environment for the teen or young adult after they leave Holina Youth Village.

Benefits of the Therapeutic Community Model:

Emotional Healing and Personal Growth:

Holina Youth Village’s therapeutic community helps teens and young adults develop emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of their struggles. Through peer support, personal responsibility, and shared experiences, individuals experience personal growth and emotional healing that can last a lifetime.

Improved Mental Health and Self-Esteem:

The therapeutic community model is particularly effective for young adults and teens struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. By working through their challenges in a supportive environment, residents build self-confidence, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and develop the skills they need to manage life’s difficulties.

Strengthening Relationships and Building Trust:

In the therapeutic community, residents learn to trust themselves and others. This focus on trust-building and healthy communication helps teens and young adults improve their relationships with their peers, families, and communities.

Long-Term Recovery and Self-Sufficiency:

The therapeutic community model encourages teens and young adults to become self-sufficient, self-aware, and accountable for their actions. These skills are essential for maintaining long-term recovery and reintegrating into society with confidence and resilience.

Holina Cyprus Care Center FAQ’s

If you are experiencing challenges or struggles in your life that are giving you uncomfortable consequences – for example, failing at school, getting arrested, hurting your friends or losing them, experiencing strong anxiety, self-harming, cutting yourself off from people and hiding, etc, then Holina Village would make a great place for you to transform yourself from unnecessary pain or discomfort and discover joy and vitality back into your life.

Holina Village is focused on emotional and behavioural health, including addictions, self-harming, anti-social behaviours, stress, diminished motivation, isolation,
insecurity, anxiety and other challenges socially awkward feelings or attitudes.

Our minimum commitment is 4 weeks, though realistically this is rarely enough time to bring about long-lasting change. Therefore we strongly suggest 6 to 12 months, particularly if they want to engage in the educational opportunities our partners UCLAN (University of Central Lancashire) offer us. Whilst our minimum commitment is 4 weeks, many, probably most of our residents stay around 3 to 6 months.

We are a fully immersed residential experience, with a minimum of one-month commitment, though most residents stay for 3 or more months, often 6 months or even longer.

No one is allowed to visit unscheduled without an appointment, though family members are encouraged to come and visit on weekends, in the second month onwards.

It is important to us that we protect the sanctity of the Holina Village space and keep them safe. We are not a daycare facility or outpatient service. We only serve those people looking for a fully immersive experience.

We encourage parents and adult family members to come and visit from the 2 nd month onwards at weekends. We offer Family Therapy during these visits (held over weekends) in both group and private settings. We understand that sometimes the whole family needs to heal, and we believe these therapeutically supported family sessions will help the greater family. Furthermore, we know that your success is significantly improved when family members are engaged in their loved one’s recovery.

Yes, you may, if you are above the legal age to smoke. Whilst we’d love to encourage you to quit whilst you’re with us, we acknowledge that many people do smoke. There is a dedicated smoking area.

Cyprus is a pleasant climate all year round. Certainly plenty of blue skies. It’s the warmest part of Europe during the Winter months. Cyprus enjoys an intense Mediterranean climate, with long dry summers from mid–May to mid–October, and mild winters from December to February, which is separated by short autumn and spring seasons.

August is the hottest month in Paphos with an average temperature of 26°C (79°F) and the coldest is January at 13°C (55°F) with the most daily sunshine hours at 13 in July. The wettest month is December with an average of 93.9mm of rain.

Pack as if you were coming on an adventure holiday to an island with plenty of land and sea-based activities. Dress casually and comfortably. It’s not a fashion parade but a small village of like-minded friends all hanging out together.

Bring activewear for workouts and other fitness activities including swimming, sports shoes, and light wear for yoga. We do physical activities almost every day, so bring a few pairs to allow for laundry times.
We have a safe to keep your valuables in, but expensive jewellery and other luxury items are unnecessary.

Toiletries: Please bring your toiletries and hygiene products, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, shaving materials, basic makeup, hairbrush, etc. Anything you forget we can purchase from local shops.

Medications: You are allowed to continue using your doctor-prescribed medications whilst with us, but please do bring proof of your prescription. Please keep all your pills in the original packaging so that they are considered authorized narcotics.

Kindly do not bring the following:

Alcohol or drugs: It might seem self-explanatory, but some clients may try to sneak in a last-minute hit, fix, pill, can, bottle, etc. Your bags and belongings will be searched when you arrive at Holina.

Alcohol or drug paraphernalia: This includes anything that advertises or glorifies the use of alcohol or drugs. This should also include items that display support for criminal acts including terrorism, sex, gambling, or other negatively perceived notions that could upset other residents.

Weapons: There is no need to bring any knives or weapons with you to Cyprus or treatment. They will be confiscated and destroyed.

Toiletries that contain alcohol: Leave any alcohol-based products at home, such as certain mouthwashes, nail polish removers, perfumes, and aerosols.

We cater to all dietary requirements, though we request that you inform us in advance so we can prepare. You can advise us of any of your specific dietary needs and we can manage them. We’re used to having people with all types of needs.

Our prices are all-inclusive and agreed upon based on your length of stay. Minimum stay in one month is €15,000, 3 months is €40,000 and 6 months is €70,000

We don’t have any hidden costs, though there are some costs that you should be aware of. Things that are not covered include:

We ask you to pay for anything non-detox or mental health-related, including your medications.

We also ask that you have travel or medical insurance in place before you come to us. This is really for any non-detox or psychiatric-related problems, like if you fall over and break your arm or some other uncalculated trip to accident and emergency.

We don’t pay for your flights to and from Larnaca Airport (LCA), but we will meet and greet you at the airport on arrival. We can also chaperone you door to door-from your home at an extra charge (calculated based on the distance/complexity).

Typically, our clients spend between €50 and €100 per month on personal items, such as snacks, sodas, cigarettes, some toiletries, etc, but it’s not necessary to spend any more.

At this time, residents of most countries around the world can come to Cyprus and achieve a visa upon entry. We will advise you on this process. It’s very straight forwards.
If you extend your treatment and need a longer visa then we will swallow this cost for you.
