North East Wellbeing Solutions CIC (NEWSolutions) is committed to empowering communities by building resilience and promoting awareness of mental health and wellbeing within schools, community organisations and businesses. NEWSolutions CIC adopts the notion that mental health problems can happen to anyone. We believe it is important that children, young people and families receive the right help, at the right time through early identification and intervention. Our mission is to enable children, young people, and adults to hope for a better future, to know that there is help and to access it when they feel help is needed. NEWSolutions CIC provides bespoke responses and packages to support others to address and respond to concerns or unmet need in relation to mental health and wellbeing. NEWSolutions began trading in January 2018. The CIC is led by three directors and have an advisory group of four professionals who meet quarterly to review the business. We have a team which equates to 8 full time equivalent employees, 1 part time associate and 3 volunteers. The company is fully insured, with all team members disclosure checked, and where relevant regulated by a governing body. During the financial year 2024-2025, NEWSolutions has benefitted the company/Community in the following ways: -Commissioned with 14 schools (primary & secondary) ongoing throughout the year for blocks of time to deliver programmes and packages to achieve specified outcomes. -Commissioned with a local authority service for vulnerable young people (Social Work Dept) and providing employability support to economically inactive young people 16+. -Responded to 237 requests for assistance (RFAs) between 1 February 2024 to 31 January 2025 for children and young people within the 14 schools in Angus Council we commission with. The current number of active cases is 158. -The vast majority of these RFAs were responded to and actioned within 48 hours of them being received. -Training workshops have been similar to last year but are not at pre COVID-19 levels. We held 22 training workshops in the year. Training evaluations have all reported that our training input has had a positive impact, lead to change in behaviours and practices and increased knowledge in mental health and neurodiversity. -With support from a local Estate, South Esk Estates, we have been given lease of woodland, and we are developing an outdoor therapy space ’The Wellbeing Woodland’. We have received support by way of funding from the National Lottery and the NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation. -In partnership with the local Authority we ran a Summer Fun & Food program which promotes inclusivity and gives parent and carers to meet and share experiences. More information on our impact can be sourced on our company website using the following link, https://www.new-solutions.co.uk/what-we-do/our-impact/
The company’s stakeholders are the staff, children, young people and families within the commissioning organisations, mainly schools at this time. We have had recent contact from colleges and businesses to deliver training in Mental Health. We consult and evaluate our service through regular review meetings with each school/service we are commissioning with and through the data we are gathering in response to the concern being directed to us within each school or service. We also request feedback from our attendees at training events. NEWSolutions CIC is an experienced team of people from a range of professional backgrounds including Education, Health, Third Sector Organisations and Finance. With this multi-disciplinary stance, we come equipped with expertise in areas of therapeutic approaches, consultation and training. With this wealth of expertise and knowledge, we are able to work with each school/service to provide bespoke packages and interventions in response to the needs being highlighted within their context. In our work with the services/schools we are commissioning with we track the themes of concern to which we are being asked to assist with, the main themes arising are concerns related to anxiety, emotional regulation and links to a specific need or diagnosis (Neurodivergence). By gathering this data, we are able to share with each setting the current need and collectively consider ways in which we can more effectively respond to the needs arising. This collectively agreed response has involved providing training to staff, awareness raising and group work sessions for parents/carers and direct group or individual work with children or young people within these identified themes. We are continually reviewing and working on improving our service. We do this through gathering the views of our service users through questionnaires, regular review meetings, seeking the views of parents/carers and staff in the school/service as to what other support is required and how we can make that support accessible to all and by analysing and acting upon the feedback we are given. -There continues to be good feedback regarding our response times and the quality of our advice and feedback, -We continue to face the challenges of making and securing time for review and planning next steps together. -We aspire to further ways of engaging more parents/carers in future events/interventions. -We are now exploring group work programmes and funding which will support the Mental Health and wellbeing principles of NEWSolutions More information on our impact or the feedback received from service users can be sourced on our company website using the following link, https://www.new-solutions.co.uk/what-we-do/our-impact/
