Company activities and impact

The Stakeholders are children and families throughout the Northeast of England that the company has been set up to serve, as well as the children within educational establish-ments. The company has carried out over 2,500 individual and group mental health sessions throughout the North East, from Northumberland down to Teesside in the past year. These have been delivered in State Schools, Academy Trusts and Mental Educational Health Schools, as well as in college. Chameleon Connection CIC have continued to build on their strong foundation of a neuroscientific trauma informed approach, guiding and mentoring Senior Leadership Teams for better mental health outcomes of the pupils and students. In private practice the team have also successfully delivered a range of neuroscience informed psychotherapeutic interventions.The company has become a provider of services for Adoption Service North East, Coast to Coast in Northumberland and Newcastle City Council, supporting both children and parents, delivering individual sessions from the bespoke therapy rooms on South Acomb Farm in Northumberland. The team have continued to build on their specialist knowledge and three psychotherapists now have a qualification providing Infra Low Neurofeedback. The team consists of three UKCP accredited Psychotherapists with a Children and Adolescent specialism and a con-tracted psychotherapeutic counsellor. There have been some changes in our staffing arrangements due to the development of ca-reers and future plans. One of our therapists has left to pursue a career in a different field from Child Counselling and we celebrated her work over the past two years at our end of year meeting. We wished her well with her future career. Our guest director certified to deliver the trauma Integrated Listening Safe and Sound Protocol from Stephen Porges, as well as Infra Low Neurofeedback; non-invasive and symptom based, so ideal for children who are unable too, or do not wish too engage with other forms of trauma treatment. Due to the play-ful technology and gaming environment, this is appealing to both neurodiverse and neuro-typical children alike.

Consultation with stakeholders

A new director who joined the company for a fixed year period, bringing with her considerable expertise from the fund-raising sector, concluded her time with us, at the end of the financial year. She stated she had found insights gained from her year with us very valuable for her own work in carrying out assessments for National Lottery funding from bids with a therapeutic element. Reciprocally, her input helped us to understand the limitations of applying for more funding without administrative support to complete the necessary reporting that comes with funding. As we currently have more clients than we are able to allocate to therapist, our work will focus for the immediate future on meeting this demand.The current CEO who holds the significant control has initiated a plan which was supported by all for shadowing of her role by the other main co-director, in order to plan for progression in the coming year. The plan for growth and progression also includes welcoming the two remaining employees into new roles as supporting directors for the CEO. The company will go forward with all employees being main stakeholders. Any additional staffing requirements to meed demand will be met by appropriately qualified and accredited contractors. The planned implementation for this will be in the Autumn term of 2023, once the year’s current SLA work is underway. The plan will allow for expansion of services and division of roles requiring specialist knowledge. The areas of specialist knowledge include working outdoors in nature, EMDR with children and adults, Neurofeedback and SEND needs of clients.
