Halcyon CIC provides clinical psychology and animal assisted therapy to children and young people with psychological, behavioural or emotional difficulties to improve social, psychological and health outcomes. Halcyon CIC operates in Worcestershire and surrounding areas and in addition to assessment and therapy, we provide teaching, training and consultation and supervision to enhance the support provided by others to the community and promote the dissemination of ethical and evidence-based practice. This year we have continued to offer support to the local community in line with the areas outlined above (once again high demand has been seen in line with national figures suggesting increased mental health difficulties in children and young people). We have also seen increasing levels of more severe mental health difficulties (e.g. self harm and suicide ideation) with clients often citing long waiting lists with statutory services as one of their reasons for seeking our support. We have continued to offer flexibility and choice to clients wherever possible including times, days, treatment options and a range of prices according to the type of psychological support required. We have offered subsidised rates for existing clients where changes to their financial status would have otherwise meant they would not have been able to continue to access therapy. Individualised therapeutic assessments and interventions have been provided to an ever- growing number of children, young people and their families with positive outcomes for mental health, psychological wellbeing and social relationships. We do however recognise that as demand for our service increases, we are not always able to be as flexible with appointment times as we would always like, nor always as immediately responsive due to sometimes having a short waiting list. We have actively looked for another psychology Associate to help with this. Unfortunately, to date we have not been successful at sourcing more capacity with staffing, but we continue to explore options for this. In this financial year period, there was a 67% increase in the number of appointments offered to clients compared to the same period a year prior (1087 appointments and 71 new episodes of care were seen this period, in addition to ongoing client work). A total of 94 separate clients were offered a therapy service in this financial year. These young people and their families may not have had the opportunity to access this type of specialist support locally, or as quickly using statutory services. Certainly, many mentioned a lack of alternative services they could access or long waiting lists. Once again some of the young people using Halcyon’s services explicitly stated a willingness to attend and engage due to the unique animal assisted component of intervention whereas anxiety has prevented them from accessing other statutory services that did not include an animal assisted component. Some children were not attending school and had the potential to be on the periphery of more embedded, statutory services than those in mainstream education. Counselling offered a more affordable option to some clients compared to clinical psychology. New referral and funding sources were also apparent again in this financial year and many stated they had learned of the company via word of mouth and recommendations - testament to the ongoing and growing community awareness of the company. We were able to continue to support 2 clients and start to support one new client, all funded via county council provision as part of their Education Health and Care Plans including children in Education Other Than At School (EOTAS packages). Additionally, we were able to offer specialist support to one vulnerable young person via school funding and another via an NHS IFR arrangement.We have approached several local charities, CICs and local authority services working with more disadvantaged young people in Worcestershire with an offer of free psychological consultation, supervision and/or support for staff. Over the coming year, we are committed to further developing this offer to frontline youth workers who support disadvantaged young people. We are conscious of maximising the reach of our community work within our limited resources to help us provide services to clients who may not typically be able to access services such as ours due to financial barriers. We feel this is best achieved indirectly, by supporting the staff who are already engaged and working with larger numbers of young people than we would be able to impact by offering very limited direct 1-1 sessions. In addition to direct clinical work, we have continued to offer training and supervision for professionals in Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). Teaching and training have been provided for free to a local university course and a training placement was offered for a student studying animal interventions at a local University. Helping to support the evidence-based training of the future workforce will also impact positively on the mental health and psychological wellbeing of local young people and enhance access to well-trained professionals.
Stakeholders are the local community in Worcestershire and surrounding areas in the region, particularly children and young people with mental health, emotional or psychological needs, and their families/carers and those that use our services. Stakeholders have been encouraged to interact with the business via social media channels and this has continued as an accessible medium for interaction. Halcyon CIC fosters an open and collaborative culture. Feedback is collected routinely with embedded tools for collecting feedback from clients. We also worked creatively to collect client opinions on our services and approach, by asking clients to contribute to our values statement by reflecting on their experiences with Halcyon CIC. To date, feedback has all been very positive. Since many clients comment on the animal assisted component, we are working on ways to expand this provision. We continue to encourage clients to provide feedback and ideas. We also stay abreast of local needs and services.
