01
Motivation to move on
Using our behaviour change programme, we worked with individuals to support the transition out of the third sector into the next steps of independent living. We saw individuals secure employment and take on volunteering roles as a result of the increases in wellbeing, motivation and self esteem.

How do we move forward?
Using our assessment we were able to give a clear picture of individual mental wellbeing within the organisation but more importantly, through our behaviour change modelling, we clustered individual's needs and provided the insight required to increase engagement within current services.



04
Adapting to change
Environmental change can be outside of our control but having the capability and motivation to change effectively de-risks the negative impact on our mental wellbeing. During COVID we used our behaviour change programme to support individuals, who had lost income, to adapt and find new ways forward.

05
Self management of mental health
Using our evaluated behaviour change model we integrated with GP's and social prescribers to achieve a reduction in GP visits and increase in the self management of mental wellbeing. We supported individuals who were on waiting lists for other services or didn't want to access clinical support, through a 6 week, one to one programme, led by our practitioners in a community setting.



06
Engagement with the 5 ways to wellbeing
Working with Dr Byrom, King's College London, we conduct research to understand the impact of the Tasting Colours model on engagement with the 5 ways to wellbeing. Our model is statistically proven to increase engagement with wellbeing by 18% to a p value of <0.001
