Public benefits
The direct benefits flowing from purpose 1 include enhanced protective factors against the risk of suicide and self-harm, improved mental health, and a softening of the impact of trauma in children and young people. The direct benefits flowing from purpose 2 include Enhanced protective factors against the risk of suicide and self-harm, improved
mental health, and a softening of the impact of trauma on the adult population. The benefits from purpose 1 are demonstrated through administering age appropriate, evidence-based measures of, for example, anxiety, emotional regulation, hope and resilience are used on a pre and post intervention basis. Focus groups are used once a year. In collaboration with Ulster University, an evaluation of our programme has already been published in Child Care in Practice, Taylor & Francis Online, 11th Nov 2019. Findings were overwhelmingly positive and we continue to address and monitor the recommendations. The benefits from purpose 2 are demonstrated through administering the Adult Hope Scale and the Adult Resilience Scale on a pre and post intervention basis. Focus groups are used to gauge the medium-term benefit. Purpose 1: A proportion of the children/young people we deliver to may be vulnerable. Child protection policies and procedures are in place, and training updated as recommended. ACCESS NI checks are carried out on all Resilio personnel. Our facilitators are trained in Mental Health First Aid so that they are equipped to deal with someone in emotional distress. The benefits gained in increased levels of hope and resilience outweigh the possibility of risk. Purpose 2: A proportion of the adults we deliver to may be vulnerable. Safeguarding policies and procedures are in place, and training updated as recommended. ACCESS NI checks are carried out on all Resilio personnel. Our facilitators are trained in Mental Health First Aid so that they are equipped to deal with someone in emotional distress. The benefits gained in increased levels of hope and resilience outweigh the possibility of risk. Children and young people are the beneficiaries of purpose 1. The general adult population is the beneficiary of purpose 2 We remunerate training facilitators to cascade the programmes for both children/young people and adults. Without them we would not be in a position to fulfil the purpose, therefore this is incidental in achieving the benefit of both purposes.
