The Solihull Approach is an early intervention framework of support that aims to increase the emotional health and well-being of both children and families.
The Solihull Approach model combines three theoretical concepts:
- Containment (psychoanalytic theory)
- Reciprocity (child development)
- Behaviour management (behaviourism).
It provides a framework for thinking for a wide range of professionals and all of our practitioners in Newcastle 0-19 service are trained within the Solihull approach soon after joining our team.
In this way, it becomes embedded into our daily practice enabling us to understand and help parents, young people, children and babies in these areas and thus shape the way in which we guide and support.
The advice and content we deliver surrounding the Solihull approach can help positively impact areas such as sleeping and eating, relationships, bereavement, emotional stability, early years, bullying and specific behaviours.
By taking into account factors such as the child’s individual needs, a parent or carers parenting capacity and environmental factors, our practitioners can aim to tailor a level of support that will be specific and beneficial to the family.
