Whole School Training

Looking to train a group, whole team or organisation in emotional health and wellbeing?

Togetherness’ Whole School Training is all about supporting emotional health and wellbeing with a focus on relationships and nurturing connected, sensitive and responsive interactions using the Solihull Approach model. The Solihull Approach model 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 model is also about understanding brain development to understand behaviour, communication and emotional health.

For everyone who works within a school.

What difference will it make?

Togetherness’ Whole School 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 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 all school staff to engage families and young people with confidence to make a real and lasting impact.

Togetherness and our network of trained practitioners are passionate about early intervention and responsive relationships supporting mental health and wellbeing. The Solihull Approach model 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.
