~~**The Bi g Picture**~~ A holistic approach to improving girls' ~~mental health and wellbeing Annual Report and Accounts~~ - 2021 2022 2 3 Sunbea J k ## **'** ~~**Chair s Statement**~~ This year, we processed an average of 15 new referrals each month. This meant processing the sad, difficult and often complex crises that young women and girls were facing, be it domestic violence, family breakdown, parent ill mental health and frequent hospital admissions, anxiety and incipient eating disorders, truancy or social isolation. And whilst we have continued to provide unique and targeted support to each young person on our service, liaising with parents, school and professionals involved in their care, we have stayed true to our mission of looking at the bigger picture and taking a holistic approach to improving girls and young women's mental health and wellbeing. We have focused on dismantling systemic barriers and generating sustained transformation around mental health. In particular, we have worked closely with those most marginalised in the community with a focus on reducing widespread stigma and improving not only their wellbeing but their emotional fluency, voice, confidence and leadership skills. We have worked closely with 22 local schools to develop and improve school-based mental health provisions so that all pupils, parents and staff have access to good mental health and wellbeing support. And using our unique and trusted position in the community and our established partnerships with statutory services and local council working groups, we have been working hard to improve referral pathways, build trust and confidence in mainstream mental health services and increase cross-agency co-production to ensure the needs of girls and young women are identified, met and supported at the earliest stage. With Covid just behind us and the Cost-of-Living Crisis upon us, the challenges we face are significant and we are extremely grateful to our volunteers, partners and donors for their continued support.

Reisy also suffered from Crohn’s disease and psoriasis, which at times, meant she felt unable to go out at all. To top it all off, she had just been diagnosed with ASD and was struggling with this new diagnosis and the stigma attached to it. In addition to her allergy related anxieties, Reisy suffered from social anxiety and barely spoke to anyone other than family. Reisy asked for a phone interview (vs in-person) and didn’t share much. She did say that she hates school (although she is academically strong), and resisted going since she has been in year 2! Reisy had a number of interventions from her parents and school including SLT and CBT but mum felt like she was “at a standstill” and desperately wanted Reisy to have a “safe space, trusted relationship and fun outlet” so she could “have some sunshine despite all her issues”. We matched Reisy with Shaindy, a sensitive and mature volunteer mentor, who had in the past struggled with issues similar to Reisy’s particularly Crohn’s disease. Reisy sensed that her mentor “can understand a little bit” and this helped build her trust in her mentor. Reisy loved baking but due to her allergies was anxious to ever give it a try. Her mentor helped her overcome these fears – with clinical guidance - and together they worked out a plan of how they could bake beautiful and tasty stuff without having to compromise her diet. Although Reisy spoke minimally for the first 3 months, her mentor was patient and non-judgemental, continuously offering her choice, opinion and praise. At stage A supervision, Shaindy admitted that she felt as though she was “tugging and drawing from a well without water” but she also realised that her mentee would never miss 2 minutes of a session. Reisy also took photos of every activity completed which also demonstrated her interest and pride. Sunbeams, guided Shaindy with tips and strategies on how to support Reisy’s anxieties, as well as encouragement to continue giving her this safe space and trusted relationship. 3 months into the mentoring sessions, Reisy's teacher shared inspiting feedback. “Reisy is doing much, much better. She still struggles with anxieties around tests, however is much happier and calmer than she has ever been. She smiles, raises her hand in class (all of which she never used to do). Now with the chaos of her class running the school show (something that would really have thrown her off previously) she seems to cope well.” At 6 months check-in, mum said that Reisy really connected to her mentor as she finally feels that someone understands her. At stage B supervision, her mentor shared that she finds Reisy a new person and sessions are going better each week. Reisy now chats right through the session, often even forgetting to do the planned activity! Despite her teachers and mum's beliefs that she would do no more than 1 or 2 GCSEs due to her heightened anxiety and history of frequently missing school, Reisy surprised them all and applied herself fully, taking 6 GCSEs. Reisy’s 12 months mentee questionnaire was evidenced how much she had progressed over the past year (previous questionnaires were mostly left blank and she was always too shy to talk to the Volunteer Coordinator, asking mum to take over). She wrote that she loves her mentor, feels that her mentor has her best interests in mind, and that she now has much more confidence. For example, she now talks to friends on the phone, hangs out after school and enjoys social gatherings. She ticked “strongly agree” to statements confirming that since she started Sunbeams, she feels more confident, more resilient and happier. The cherry on the top was when Reisy called Sunbeams last month to ask if she could mentor, preferably a young person who was quiet and struggling socially. She feels she can connect! 26 27 ## ~~**1:1 Mentoring and**~~ Ke com onents of the y p ~~**Parent Engagment**~~ serv ~~i~~ ce ~~i~~ nclude: _**Sunbeams was born when young people along with two secondary school teachers in Hackney’s OJ community saw too many girls presenting multiple, complex issues like anxiety, eating disorders or disengagement with school. They realized that many of these girls had in younger years faced smaller, more manageable problems such as learning difficulties, bereavement and low self-esteem which were not addressed. These then spiraled out of control, morphing into complex emotional and mental health challenges, anti-social behavior and academic failure.**_ Together with young community volunteers, some of whom had lived experience of these issues, they launched an early-intervention mentoring service for girls age 5-12, aiming to tackle problems upstream, when they were relatively new and manageable. Nine years down the line, and over 30,000 mentoring sessions later, Sunbeams is a community-trusted, accredited mentoring service supporting over 170 girls age 7-16 each year. We work with young people at the stage before they require intensive specialist support for their issues, or sometimes alongside specialist services. Young people on the service struggle with problems such as low self-esteem, social isolation, anxiety, low mood, incipient eating disorders, truancy or majorly strained relationships. • Weekly 60-minute 1:1 mentoring session with a trained volunteer mentor. • Therapeutic activities such as baking, music, art and hairstyling create a safe space for children to relax, improve in confidence whilst gaining practical skills to improve their social and emotional wellbeing. • Quarterly trips to museums, parks, and restaurants mostly scheduled around extra-stressful situations such as parent’s admission to hospital or to celebrate mentee’s milestones. • Mentees are consistently involved in shaping the service - choosing the sort of activity, day and timing of sessions, planning trips and providing ongoing feedback on their mentoring relationship. • Ongoing supervision of mentors by Volunteer Coordinator and consultant clinical child psychologist to monitor performance and identify and address concerns. • Working in partnership with parents, schools, statutory services such as CAMHS and local welfare organisations to ensure that progress is carried over across the board and to onward-refer any issues requiring intervention. We enjoy strong partnerships with 22 local girls’ schools, (representing over 6,000 pupils), local welfare organizations and statutory services such as First Steps and CAMHS for inward and onward referrals. 29 28 ## ~~**Grou Mentorin p g**~~ _**Children and young people on our service show significant improvements in their confidence, core identity and educational attainment. Many however, struggle to apply the skills they learnt in 1:1 sessions to reallife situations and need a socially supportive group experience to boost their emotional resilience and help them transition to appropriate social integration.**_ ARTogether provides a supportive environment for young women to speak out, share their experiences and get help while building social skills, emotional resilience and healthy relationships. In group sessions, users feel empowered to express and make sense of feelings, learn that that others have similar experiences/ reactions whilst developing strategies to manage difficult emotions (e.g. anger, distress) in a socially appropriate manner. Young people learn how to effectively engage with one another and work as a team, often for the first time, developing key social and communication skills. Users who at first were socially isolated form lasting friendships and the ability to make new friends in future. ## Key components o ~~f~~ the ~~service include:~~ - Arts-based group sessions: arts and crafts, music, drama and performing arts. ## ~~2022 Highlight~~ During the spring/summer of 2022, we ran a highly successful farm-based group mentoring pilot project. In cohorts of 6-8, 24 mentees enjoyed 1-hour group-sessions at a local farm established and managed by community members. Having seen firsthand the therapeutic effects of animal interaction, (helping release stress/tension, boosting nurturing skills, confidence and empathy), they were passionate about providing similar experiences for girls in the community and agreed to facilitate these sessions at a nominal fee. Their lived experience and cultural sensitivity helped create a safe and supportive environment and contributed to the success of the project. Users struggling with low self-esteem, confidence, social and emotional wellbeing enjoyed weekly opportunities to meet girls in similar situations, enjoy the greater outdoors and pet/ nurture farm animals. They also performed farm related tasks such as feeding farm animals and creating name plaques, giving them a sense of responsibility and importance. Using farm-animals as a model, facilitators helped mentees explore key issues such as dealing with their emotions/ acceptance/self-care. For example, by discussing animal's different reactions to feeling threatened, mentees explored their own reactions to threatening situations and discussed coping strategies. Users were also encouraged and guided to develop and improve social and communication skills such as team-working, inclusion, non-verbal communication and more. Outcomes reported (via established monitoring and evaluation methods) included improved social and communication skills (98%), happiness (100%), confidence (92%), academic performance (89%), relationships (96%). - Cohorts are put together based on participants’ commonalities, goals, social and communication levels and ages. - The 5-part progamme delivered over 45 weeks covers: selfawareness, communication skills, finding strength in shared experiences, emotional wellbeing, practical social tips and strategies, building resilience. 30 31 ## ~~**Mental Health and Wellbeing at School**~~ _**In a holistic approach and with a focus on prevention and promotion of young people’s mental health and wellbeing, Sunbeams continued to provide professional support to school leads around school-based mental health provisions.**_ Alongside this, Sunbeams coordinated a Mental Health Forum for SENCOs, headteachers and senior staff across all 22 girls’ school. The forum provided a fabulous opportunity for staff to meet, discuss concerns more widely and share good practice and learning. We also arranged regular professional development trainings, produced and co-delivered by parents with lived experience, often in the form of a 3-part series. Topics included “supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people with ASD” and “managing anxiety”, with excellent uptake and feedback on improved knowledge, skills and confidence around supporting the mental health and wellbeing of students. In the past year, we co-delivered Year 2 of the OJ WAMHS Pilot, coordinating and supporting City & Hackneys Wellbeing and Mental Health Initiative in 6 OJ schools. Participating schools received one day a month with a dedicated CAMHS Clinician to help them develop, implement and improve school-based provisions for student’s social and emotional resilience. ~~**”**~~ **I just want to say that it never ceases to amaze me how you put your heart and soul into every aspect** ~~**and every event of Sunbeams! The workshop was**~~ **professional, thought provoking, well planned,** ~~**heart warming and informative.**~~ Some focused on new monitoring and evaluation systems for vulnerable students, some developed staff and parent trainings **how you put your heart and soul into every aspect** on common mental health issues and others worked to improve ~~**and every event of Sunbeams! The workshop was**~~ student’s voice and emotional literacy. School leads also **professional, thought provoking, well planned,** participated in the OJ WAMHS Network which gave regular opportunities for shared practice, learning and reflection and ~~**heart warming and informative.**~~ proved to be a supportive and valuable resource to headteachers, SENCOs and pastoral leads. Sunbeams produced a monitoring and evaluation report which highlighted improved perceptions of parents, pupils and school staff around mental health and wellbeing, improved school provisions and perhaps most significant, a 400% increase in referrals made to CYMHS by participating schools _Chaya Yakter, SEND Coordinator Beis Rochel School_ 32 33 ## ~~**Volunteer training and supervision**~~ _**At Sunbeams, we see the tremendous value of our volunteers - girls and young women age 18- 25 who give selflessly each week to support vulnerable girls in the community.**_ In fact, volunteering is the heart of what we do and that is why we take it so seriously. All Sunbeams volunteers receive high level training and supervision so they benefit from enhanced knowledge, skills and volunteering opportunities. Besides for basic and mandatory trainings such as safeguarding and induction to Sunbeams, our volunteers enjoy in-depths trainings delivered by professionals. These include “Why and how mentoring makes a difference”, “building confidence and selfesteem of a vulnerable young person”, or “supporting my mentee’s mental health”. Ongoing clinical and non-clinical supervision gives volunteers the opportunity to develop, reflect and improve on transferable life and work skills such as commitment, communication, compassion, work ethic, confidentiality and time management. _**In 2021-22:**_ _**• 97%**_ of volunteers who were transitioning out of education and seeking employment, successfully entered employment within 3 months. _**• 34**_ volunteers went on to pursue further education courses in related areas (childcare, psychology, counselling etc) as a result of their positive experience as a mentor. _**• 99%**_ of volunteers who applied to new jobs, used Sunbeams as a reference in their CV/job application. _**• 98%**_ of mentors who were employed reported improved confidence in the workplace. _**• 28/50**_ volunteers who were already employed, advanced in employment. _**• 47**_ volunteers used their volunteering skills and experience to take on similar paid roles in local organisations. 35 34 Sunbeams ¥* 36 37 ## ~~**Outcomes**~~ _**Improved emotional health and wellbeing**_ ~~**89%**~~ _**Our mentoring programs give girls a safe space to relax, have fun and do stuff they enjoy.**_ Through mentors’ guidance and roleplaying, mentees learn to idenitfy and express their feelings, develop strategies to cope with stress, regulate emotions and access further professional support as needed. Parents are also guided on behaviour management and accessing other welfare support contributing to a calmer home environment and more sustained behaviour changes. _**• Shira** feels she can cope with her mother’s mental illness because she now meets other girls in the same boat and they share thoughts, feelings and coping tips._ _**• Mali** says the only time she does not have anxious thoughts is during group sessions._ _**• Esti** started journaling once a week. She says “I feel much lighter writing it all in my diary”._ ~~**92%**~~ _**Improved performance at school**_ _**Mentees are encouraged to pursue their personal interests, develop new and hone existing skills and achieve self-set goals, motivating them and improving their ability to engage with and achieve at school. By sharing their feelings with a trusted mentor and addressing issues (often for the first time!) they feel more at ease and are able to focus better and achieve more at school.**_ Our awareness-raising trainings provide school staff with improved understanding of children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing needs and how 38 they can promote and support pupil’s resilience, especially those facing multiple, complex issues. _**• Hessie** built a trusted relationship with her mentor and for the first time shared how she was being bullied at school. With the encouragement of her mentor, she approached her form teacher, who helped tackle this and other social issues Hessie was struggling with. She increased her “performance at school” rating by 3+ points._ - _**Teachers** at Beis Chinuch School feel empowered and more confident to deal with pupil’s anxiety around exams_ ~~**97%**~~ ## _**Improved confidence and relationships**_ _**Strong, positive and affirming relationships with mentors increase happiness and give girls a secure, stable relationship.**_ By completing a 1000 piece puzzle or learning to play the guitar vulnerable girls get that positive feeling that they can excel. They learn to recognise and celebrate their achievements and feel more confident about their capabilities and their future. - _**Shaina,** who is selectively mute, finds security and comfort during group mentoring and has started talking to peers during sessions._ - _**Charni,** who has learning disabilities, has become a baking pro and is now proudly selling her goodies at Sunday bake sales._ - _**Chana’s** mentor helped her learn social cues and develop communication skills. She shared that “Sundays are now completely different” and she is confident to call friends and have them over.._ 39 ~~**”**~~ **These service developments have been** ~~**undertaken thoughtfully over time to ensure**~~ **a quality service and this measured approach and the priority placed on the quality of** ~~**service to girls has contributed to a really**~~ **successful ro ramme of earl su ort and p g y pp mentoring.** _Dr Beth Hill, Clinical Psychologist First Steps Early Intervention and Community Psychology Service / CAMHS_ 40 41 Sunbeams 42 43 ## ~~**New Developments**~~ ## Keyworker Service We have identified an acute emerging need to bridge a gap for 11–16-year-olds presenting with multiple, complex issues that can’t be addressed through volunteer mentoring alone. There is currently no existing provision in Stamford Hill and Noa Girls (an adolescent girls’ support service in NW London) are oversubscribed. Rolling out this “key-worker service” will augment mentoring by targeting more skilled intervention at critical points so girls have support, know-how and resilience to cope, get back on track and thrive, despite crises they face. Sunbeams held comprehensive consultations/interviews/ discussions with local stakeholders (schools/parents/users/Noa Girls) to better understand the needs and opportunity for this target group. Intensive research and assessment (undertaken in consultation with our clinical psychologist), has confirmed Sunbeams’ suitability for this service and clearly mapped how this is a natural expansion of our current mental health-focused work in the community. Key worker support will be holistic, intensive and fully responsive to individual needs. Trained and supervised by a clinical child psychologist and managed by the Project Manager, key workers will work within the systems surrounding and provide practical support to generate positive, substantial and sustainable change. The project will feed into other Sunbeams services, enabling sustainable system-wide change within education and statutory systems. ## Mental Health & Wellbeing at School Due to funding constraints, the CAMHS Alliance WAMHS (Wellbeing and Mental Health at School) initiative is currently only available to 6/22 local OJ schools. However, the need for more awareness, skills and improved provisions around mental health and wellbeing in our schools still remains and Sunbeams has received repeated requests over the past year to fill this gap. Through our established partnership work with local girls’ schools across other Sunbeams projects, we have an in-depth understanding of the needs and issues they face and have gained the trust and confidence from school leads to address these. We also have two years’ experience of co-delivering the WAMHS Initiative, which means we know what works well, where the challenges lie and how to effectively deliver a school-based support service with considerations to resources, staffing, cooperation, culture and competency. We are excited to have secured funding to roll out a comprehensive support service to improve school-based wellbeing provisions in 8 additional schools in the coming year (2022-2023). Schools participating in Sunbeams iWAS Initiative (Improving Wellbeing at School) will receive one day a month with a qualified counselling psychologist to help them formalize and implement an action plan for improving their skills, knowledge and systems around mental health and wellbeing of pupils, parents and staff. They will also be part of the iWAS Network and participate in iWAS quarterly forum for shared learning, reflection and support. 44 45 Sunbeams Ivi Tl •$.. 46 47 ## ~~**Financial Review**~~ The Trustees are happy to report organisation incoming resources of £195,641.
