One person had experienced 26 placements in ten years
before moving to her current home with us; three years
later, she is settled, flourishing and calls it her “forever
home”. Our Wellbeing Outcomes framework remained the
golden thread through support planning, daily practice
and quality assurance. The framework covers eight
domains of wellbeing: Spark, Environment, Relationships,
Physical Health, Emotional Health, Skills, Belonging and
Security. It helps teams evidence changes in confidence,
communication, friendships, health, daily activity,
independent living skills and community connection.
Active Wellbeing Coaching (originally funded by Surrey’s
Mental Health Investment Fund) provided personalised
support for autistic adults with mental health needs.
104 participants achieved 450 goals and recorded an
average 16% improvement in overall wellbeing after 12
sessions. Progress included relationships, physical health,
confidence, skills, belonging, education, employment and
everyday life, supported by links to community activities
and social prescribing.
