What is the Solihull Approach?
The Solihull Approach supports understanding of emotional health, wellbeing and mental health. It can be used with families, individuals, groups, whole communities or wider populations, and applies from pre-conception through adolescence and across the lifespan. Used in many cultures and countries, it focuses on what helps or hinders our development and highlights the central role of relationships.
NTU in Mansfield
Our Mansfield University Hub is located on the same site as Vision West Nottinghamshire College, approximately 1.5 miles from the centre of Mansfield town. NTU in Mansfield represents our ambition to be a University of the future and a champion for the communities we serve.
Together with partners across Mansfield and Ashfield, we are committed to bringing opportunity and prosperity to the region.
