About us

The Solihull Approach is a team of professionals within the National Health Service in the UK. We work with practitioners and parents to develop new resources to support emotional health and wellbeing in children, families, adults and older adults. Dr Hazel Douglas MBE originally developed the model whilst working with a team of health visitors, child and adolescent mental health services and families, then moving to include social services and education practitioners and many more. The Solihull Approach model is now used in most areas of the UK with many projects across the world, applied from midwives, health visitors, family workers, foster carers, social workers and teachers to firefighters and prison officers and in homes, hospitals, clinics, companies, schools and prisons.

    ❓ Is the Solihull Approach model and the work we do making a positive difference 25 years on? ✅Absolutely! The approach brings together the three concepts of containment, reciprocity and behaviour management and has a significant evidence base showing improvements in the parent-child relationship, child prosocial behaviour, behaviour difficulties, parental anxiety and stress, and practitioner satisfaction. But families and practitioners are our biggest champions. Thank you to mum, Sarah, for sharing her and her son's experience of what a difference the Solihull Approach has made for them🤩
