Our main stakeholders are the people who participate in the sessions we provide, either 1 to 1 or groups. Our participants come to us through a number of channels, self-referral or through an organisation or referral network such as school, council, NHS or charity. The initial assessment takes place with a qualified member of our team, during this conversation the participant and the assessor take time to discuss different therapies and what would be most suited for the participants needs and situation as well as their ability to engage. Each person that partakes in sessions with us completes two questionnaires at the beginning and end of their time with us, these provide an insight into their wellbeing and psychological state upon arrival and departure with us. Alongside the questionnaires other factors allow us to ensure our clients voices are heard, the collaborative nature of the work, reporting and assessments as the sessions take place, ongoing conversations throughout therapy between practitioner and participant, and feedback forms once sessions conclude, these methods combined provide both quantitative and qualitative result information.The 12 week Dance Movement Psychotherapy Group for women survivors of sexual abuse provided some wonderful feedback which highlighted why providing options to accessible affordable creative therapy and creative therapeutic support as well as talking therapies is so important. For this group we received verbal feedback and feedback via questionnaire, here are some examples of what the participants said, It has given me some very powerful realisations for understanding the connection be tween my body and mind and how the two can be completely feeling different things!! I didn’t realise that I was keeping myself so hidden and scared till we started and that is what I was able to work on in sessions.Moments of this group felt deeply healing. Thank you. just a massive thank you for making something like this group financially accessible and for creating such a safe space to explore our bodies. A fabulous provision thank you so much. I’m not a huge fan of talking therapies, having been let down previously. This was just amazing. Such a wonderful connective connecting therapy. I feel so much more trust in myself and others and women. This group really helped me, I can face things I can’t usually face, I’m sleeping better and am in less physical pain.Through conversations with clients, parents, guardians, social workers, teachers, peers and our networks, we hear the needs that are faced within our communities. We continue to find that we are providing separate, individual sessions for multiple family members. Through the referral process, a parent, guardian or carer may call to discuss the services we can offer for another family member, often a child, and through this discussion it emerges that they themselves need support. We are fully aware that to create systemic and generational change, providing support to the community around the initial individual is often a highly successful approach.In August 2023 the lease on our premises ended and our landlord opted to increase both the rent and the bills, meaning we were unable to remain at the premises as it was no longer financially viable. We are now renting two rooms within a larger building in another part of the city. As such our team has reduced and we are no longer currently able to offer student placements. We very much hope to move to a larger premises when finance allows and to again, offer placements to students as we know that providing students with placement access in a setting such as ours is crucial for the sector and it’s growth.
