Working with Togetherness

Thanks to support from our partners, this offer is available to all East Riding families.

‘East Riding of Yorkshire Council is committed to strengthening family relationships and improving the wellbeing of children and young people. We are delighted to be working with the Solihull Approach to provide families and professionals with high-quality, evidence-based parenting guidance.

The online guides will offer accessible, expert-led advice to help parents and carers understand the emotional health and brain development of children and young people. This will be complemented by face-to-face group sessions, delivered by our Family Help teams in partnership with local services.

As a council, we are passionate about supporting parents, carers, and practitioners in nurturing confident, emotionally aware children. The introduction of these guides is an important step in our redesigned Family Help model, ensuring families across East Riding have the right support at the right time.’

Merlin Joseph, Executive Director for Children, Families and Schools at East Riding of Yorkshire Council

Testimonials

‘This course has been an absolutely invaluable gift to me. It has and will change so many aspects of my life. I am undoubtedly a better parent and a more rounded and fulfilled person as a result. I WISH I’d known all this years ago.’

Learner

Understanding your child: from toddler to teenager

’My 15-year-old watched the sensory video clips. He identified his brother’s behaviour in some of them but very much saw himself. He commented, ‘Mum, that’s me, and that’s why I do what I do!’. He asked me for the link for the clips and sent them to his friend, who had been calling him weird, so he could understand him better. He also opened up to his friendship group about his autism and can talk to them about what it is like to be him.’

Parent

Understanding your child with additional needs

‘A very easy-to-understand way of putting things, and no longer will I fight against things that I can not change due to biology.’
