Togetherness supports emotional health through evidence-based training and learning about emotional wellbeing and preventative mental health. We equip people with lifelong skills that build emotional resilience and wellbeing.
What is the Solihull Approach model?
The Solihull Approach model was created within the NHS in the United Kingdom, and its foundations remain firmly grounded in public health values. It integrates key psychological and psychoanalytic theories — containment, reciprocity and behaviour — into a simple yet powerful model that supports emotional development and relational health. Its core principles are:
- Understanding behaviour as communication
- Understanding relationships as the foundation for development
- Promoting emotional containment
- Fostering reflective practice
- Building resilience through connection
This model has been independently reviewed, widely researched, and consistently praised by practitioners across health, education, and social care sectors. It’s used in over 10 countries, with licensed centres in Australia, India, Iceland, Malaysia, and China.
