As year end approaches we've been reflecting on everything we've achieved and been part of at aneemo HQ. It's been a busy 12 months, from new course launches to bespoke training programmes and exciting new partnerships. We've picked out our top 10 favourite highlights below - thank you to everyone involved in making it another inspiring and jam-packed year!
If you've got year end training budget to spend read on to find out about courses and training programmes designed to inspire staff and develop skills and approaches to better support service users, starting NOW!
1) OHID & NHS bespoke course: Improving Access to Services for Clients Experiencing Multiple Disadvantage & Co-occurring Conditions
Our top highlights list would not be complete without including this fantastic project. It was an honour to work with the NHS' Transformation Partners in Health and Care, specifically the Homeless Health London Partnership team, to develop this incredible FREELY AVAILABLE course. An impressive list of leading experts in the field and experts by experience contributed to its development, we are so grateful for their time and expertise.
2) Westminster City Council's PIE Training Programme
We were delighted to work with WCC again in 2023, this time to develop a bespoke, multi-level PIE Training programme offered to homeless service teams and partners across the borough. Check out our March blog for more information about the programme, and WCC's drive to become the UK's leading PIE borough.
3) Change, Grow, Live: PIE, TIC & MI Programme
Few organisations commit to an organisation wide transformation to the scale that CGL have. This ambitious programme is dedicated to training all staff across the UK, developing their PIE & TIC practices as well as key Motivational Interviewing techniques. Training has been tailored to different levels and roles across the organisation, with a strong emphasis on practical applications of knowledge and skills. It's an on-going effort and another project we're especially proud to be part of. Find out more about the online versions of these courses on our website:
4) Home Office backed bespoke course: MKCC's Bystander Intervention Training
We were thrilled to be awarded this 'Safer Streets' funded contract to develop a new course, tailored to Milton Keynes and particularly to staff working in the Night-Time Economy. This training is designed to help staff evaluate different scenarios and develop the skills to safely and effectively intervene when needed. It was a pleasure to work with MKCC's project team, and be part of the wider You're Right, That's Wrong campaign.
5) Your Homes Newcastle: PIE Training Programme
Here at aneemo we love working with clients across different parts of the UK (and the world!) and our partnership with YHN is no exception. This amazing organisation is fully dedicated to developing their Psychologically and Trauma Informed practices, and we're so pleased to be part of their inspirational journey. Check out our September blog post for more information about what's included in this comprehensive staff development programme:
6) Salvation Army Australia: National Doorways training roll out
Building on the success of our PIE training, rolled out across the Youth Services teams, we were approached by Salvation Army Australia's National Doorways programme to provide online Strengths-based Approaches training. Whilst we have students across 35 countries, Australia continues to be a big and growing part of the aneemo audience, and we couldn't be happier to be working with them to spread best practice around the world!
7) New Course Release: Attachment in Action
This much-anticipated course was launched all the way back in February 2023, how time flies! Developed in partnership with the outstanding Dr Natalie Isaia, this multi-module, CPD accredited training explores how you can use Attachment Theory to enhance service design, build relationships, and transform the biopsychosocial functioning of those you support. Find more information, including a course trailer, on our website:
8) Events & Conferences
With so much going on sometimes it feels like we're stuck to our desks- which is why we're always delighted to be invited to join some of the sector's energising conferences, events, and podcasts. Just last week we were inspired and galvanised by the passion and commitment from all the delegates at the Pathway Conference. There were plenty of other opportunities to be inspired last year at a wide range of events including the Homes for Cathy conference, MEAM's Annual Conference, as well as the Queens Nurses Institute Conference (to name a few), and for Dr Williamson to be a guest on Homeless Link's Wellbeing Podcast. Thanks to all the organisers for having us, and for generally being wonderful people to work with!
9) 10th October: World Homeless Day & World Mental Health Day
For better or worse the term 'Multiple Disadvantage' has really come to the fore in 2023. 10th October 2023 marked two important days for campaigners dedicated to building awareness and addressing the issues faced by those who experience multiple disadvantage and co-occurring conditions. Check out our October blog to find out more.
10) New Course Releases: Motivational Interviewing and more to come!
Our 'Motivational Interviewing' (MI) course was our first release of 2024 and we're incredibly proud of it! Delivered by Frankie Sikes, MINT Accredited Trainer, it introduces the Spirt of MI, dives into the importance of language, 'change talk', and interviewing techniques that you can use in practice to elicit your clients inner motivations for change.
Since the launch we've been busy working on the next couple of releases - watch out for our 'Working with People who Commit Offences' course and 'Understanding & Working with Substance Use' course - both coming soon. You can find more information about these on our website - subscribe on the relevant course page and you'll be the first to know when each one goes live!
