Therapeutic community principles and practice represent an internationally diverse range of stakeholder interests. This journal provides a forum in which those engaged in developing, managing and sustaining therapeutic cultures can publish original research, communicate experiences, consider the effects of political and social policy on their own settings, disseminate ideas, developments and findings, and communicate good practice.

• Schools and educational environments
• Community settings

The journal is interested in papers that describe co-constructed practices, peer led and peer relational practices, including accounts of lived experience.
