In 2004 Alliance became a limited company and has gone from strength to strength to offer mental health support both to our local communities and increasingly expanding our reach beyond Teesside. Our current services are offered across primary care, our private and commercial offers and our children, young people and families’ service. We have served our local community for over 20 years and want to continue to build on this to ensure we can provide support for as many people as we can.

Since 2008 we have worked with over 100 organisations in the public, private and voluntary and community sector including Cleveland Police, North Tees and Hartlepool Foundation Trust and Darlington Borough Council in addition to supporting schools and universities. As we continue to expand, we are committed to exploring digital means to increase our reach, developing more bespoke workplace offers and increasing our training provision and other private offers both at a local and national level.

NHS Talking Therapies ….find out more
After delivering primary care psychological therapies on Teesside for many years, Alliance formed a partnership with Teesside Mind in 2020 to deliver the NHS Talking Therapies service ‘Impact on Teesside’. Impact on Teesside also provides a well-being service for people whose needs, are less complex than those needing to access NHS Talking Therapies. In addition, we offer a Foundation and Recovery service which offers practical support to people who need a more holistic approach. Impact facilitates Employment Advisors by offering tailored support to help clients enter employment or remain in work.
In the past year, Impact received 17,449 referrals and across its 3 separate pathways a total of 73,260 individual and group sessions were delivered. The Talking Therapies pathway exceeded the national target for recovery rates with a yearly average of 51.8%, whilst the Foundation and Recovery Service reported 93% of clients making improvements when measured on the Recovery Star at the start and end of treatment. Impact’s Employment Advisors began in October 2023, in the first 6 months 210 clients were discharged, of those; 45 gained employment, 70 were supported to retain current employment and 77% of all those discharged from the pathway reported Employment Advisor involvement impacted positively upon their mental health.

Children, Young People and Families…find out more
We developed our children, young people and families’ services with a vision to ensure that all children, young people and families are empowered to thrive by building on their strengths and developing their resilience. We currently deliver a diverse range of psychologically informed services; this includes leading on Mental Health Teams in Schools and Getting Help provision across Hartlepool and Stockton. In addition, we also offer a therapeutic service as part of Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys Neuro development pathway. We are very excited to share that additional funding for this vital service has been secured to extend our offer in Darlington.
In the last 12 months we have supported over 1500 children and young people through targeted interventions, nearly 2000 through non targeted psycho-educational methods and over 14000 through our whole school approach. Whilst we are very proud of this, we also know that there are still many children, young people and families in need of support and over the next 3 years we will continue to expand and increase our ability to provide this.
