What is the Solihull Approach 2 Day Foundation Training for Managers?

Solihull Approach Adult Foundation Training for Managers is all about supporting emotional health and wellbeing with a focus on relationships and nurturing connected, sensitive and responsive interactions.

The Solihull Approach was founded in practice and all of our training is evidence-based, developed by psychologists, child psychotherapists, and practitioners. It is a way of thinking and working with families, groups or one-to-one that transcends professions and communities.

The Solihull Approach is also about understanding brain development to understand behaviour, communication and emotional health.

What difference will it make?

Solihull Approach 2 Day Foundation Training for Managers is designed to equip managers of people within a wide range of settings such as Health, Education and Family Support, with an effective approach to supporting and improving emotional health and wellbeing for children, their parents or carers, service users or employees. The training explains the fundamentals of early brain development and integrates an understanding of trauma in accessible, relevant terms to support managers in a range of professions. Equipped with this knowledge and working through a series of real-life case studies prepares practitioners to engage families and young people with confidence to make a real and lasting impact.

The Solihull Approach and our network of trained practitioners are passionate about early intervention and responsive relationships supporting mental health and wellbeing. The Solihull Approach has a significant evidence base both quantitative and qualitative showing the improvements in the parent-child relationship, child prosocial behaviour, behaviour difficulties, parental anxiety and stress, and practitioner satisfaction.
