Blackthorn Trust
The Blackthorn Trust is a supportive therapeutic environment in which people can recover, grow and develop.
Founded over 30 years ago by Dr David McGavin, we offer specialist therapies and rehabilitation at our unique facilities near Maidstone, which includes the Blackthorn Medical Centre, a large biodynamic garden, a vegetarian café and kitchen, craft studios and therapy rooms.
Our work is based on the belief that more than medication is required to effect positive change in people: namely community, meaningful work, therapeutic and peer support, and daily routine.
We use our person-centred approach to help people who are at particular points of crisis in their lives, suffering with mental illness, chronic pain and type 2 diabetes.
