Social value impact

Reaching peoplebefore crisis.

PRM exists to reduce pressure on the services society depends on. The work is preventative: understanding built early, before problems require clinical or statutory intervention.

The challenge

The scale of the problem.

The PRM solution

Four ways PRM reduces the pressure.

Recognising exploitation

Through talks and workshops, young people learn what child criminal exploitation looks like and what a genuine positive role model looks like. That helps them recognise grooming and exploitation early, and contributes to reducing gang involvement and knife violence.

Understanding ACEs

Adults are introduced to adverse childhood experiences and the emotions they carry into later life: awareness many would never otherwise encounter, and the first step towards seeking support.

Addressing EBSA

Young people are given tools to understand their emotions and manage their reactions, alongside relatable role models to aspire to, supporting re-engagement with education before absence becomes entrenched.

Early, preventative support

All delivery is therapeutically informed support, not clinical intervention. By building understanding early, PRM reduces the likelihood that children and adults will need overstretched statutory services later.

The outcomes

What changes.

Fewer children progressing to crisis-level mental health need.
Earlier recognition of exploitation, reducing entry into gangs and county lines.
Improved school attendance among young people affected by EBSA.
Adults with the awareness to understand their experiences and seek support sooner.
Reduced long-term demand on mental health services, education support, policing and social care.
PRM measures its contribution through sessions delivered, settings reached and audiences engaged, and reports impact openly to partners and the community.
