our impact
Our proven track record of reducing emotional distress and increasing young people’s use of positive coping strategies means we are confident our work makes a significant positive impact in the lives of the young people we work with.
The impact of our Wellbeing Groups are evaluated through the Warwickshire Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS).
of those who have attended the Wellbeing Groups have seen a “meaningful improvement in their wellbeing” (measured as a +3 improvement), with many seeing improvements of +10 to +15.
The impact of 1:1 support is evaluated through The Young Persons Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP-CORE). This has recorded a significant 10.56 average reduction in emotional distress for the students we’ve worked with.
Our student and teacher feedback also demonstrates significant improvements in a range of measures such as young people’s levels of anger and anxiety, motivation and concentration, their ability to stay ‘on task’ in lessons, and the amount of resilience they display.
