What is the Solihull Approach 2 Day Foundation Training?
Solihull Approach Foundation Training 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 Foundation Training is designed to equip practitioners with an effective approach to supporting families and improving emotional health and wellbeing for children and their parents or carers. The training explains the fundamentals of early brain development in accessible, relevant terms to support practitioners 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.
‘The Solihull Approach does not conflict with any other approaches. It values the practitioner’s experience and knowledge and offers a framework to their way of thinking.’
Karen Ladd, Parenting Strategy Coordinator, Shropshire Council.

'The Solihull Approach training opened a window to a whole new world for me and a way of viewing that world. I have been involved in work with young people for over 30 years and it changed the way that I engage not just with young people but colleagues and family.'
