Mental health support services for children and young people throughout South Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
The Hope Project is a mental health service provider for children and young people. We provide support for teachers and staff who work with vulnerable children and young people in school settings. We also offer therapy for parents and adults or professional supervision/debriefing.
Hope Project staff are qualified to work with children and young people offering face to face therapy, web-based or telephone supervision sessions. We can offer mental health lessons to groups in schools on topics such as emotions, anxiety and confidence.
Schools can request training so they can deliver lessons themselves or The Hope Project therapists can run sessions at school on their behalf.
Parent/Carers can also request a range of services for their child or young person and family which are delivered within the child’s school.
As a business with a social aim, Hope Project is founded on the principle that everyone’s mental health and overall emotional wellbeing is extremely important. Many children and young people have benefited by being helped to deal with their emotions in day to day life as well as during a crisis.
Clinical Social Workers work with individuals, families, and groups through a variety of treatment options. They are trained to develop knowledge and skills in diagnosis and assessment, treatment and early intervention to help prevent future problems.
Clinical social work practice focuses on collaborative problem solving and helping clients increase relationships and networks with others in their community. Clinical social workers are trained to do this work through the use of a professional relationship, purposeful conversation and planned activity.
The guiding principles of clinical social work practice always respect the worth and dignity of all people, use of a strengths perspective, confidentiality and client-led decision making. Clinical Social Workers are trained to work within a variety of practices:
1) Extensive Experience
Hope Project associates have a broad experience within the mental health field. They have all worked with children, young people and adults. They have supported children and young people within residential homes, schools and community clinics and worked with/treated adults with chronic and persistent mental illness, substance misuse and trauma.
2) Flexible
There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to any service addressing life’s difficulties; whether that is one-to-one work, groups or any other intervention. All options are explored to ensure all involved are happy with what is decided. Services are flexible to fit restricted budgets and limited resources.
We work creatively to find solutions that help the person, family, school or organisation. For example, she is able to work outside ‘traditional’ working hours or to work with school clusters that want to pool their budgets.
3) Satisfaction
It is important to us that you are satisfied with the service provided and that afterwards you are confident to recommend The Hope Project to others for their mental health needs. Please report any dissatisfaction immediately.
4) Integrity
Honesty, reliability, integrity and a conscientious work ethos are all important to us. Her commitment to working effectively is a distinguishing trait matched by her compassion to help and make a difference in people’s lives.
5) Knowledgeable
All interventions of The Hope Project reflect best evidence-based practice and follow recommended legislative guidelines. All Hope Project Associates keep up-to-date with current research, guidance and government policies.
