Work with ELM
Work with E. L. Mitchell FA4C, founder of ELM Editions, to bring whole-child understanding into your organisation through training, talks, workshops and the ELM framework resource pack.
We welcome enquiries from schools, education settings, family-support teams, charities, health and social-care services, and community organisations. Tell us who you support and what you would like your team to learn or use.
Training, talks and workshops
Enquire about lived-experience-informed training, team workshops and speaking sessions using the ELM Method and selected visual frameworks. Sessions can explore the child’s 24-hour experience, EBSA, masking, emotional overload, family perspectives and looking beyond visible behaviour.
We begin with your audience and learning needs, then discuss suitable content, practical examples, delivery format and dates. Training and resource use can be discussed together.
In your enquiry, include your organisation, audience, approximate participant numbers, preferred dates and whether you are looking for online or in-person delivery. Scope, availability and fees are agreed before booking.
For parents and lived-experience voices
Help shape resources by telling us what is clear, what is missing and what would make them more useful in everyday family life. Parents and carers can express interest in reviewing developing materials or contributing their perspective.
Taking part is your choice. An initial message can simply describe your interest; you do not need to send children’s records or personal case details. We will discuss what participation involves and agree any use of your words before sharing them.
Use the ELM framework resource pack
Organisations interested in using the ELM framework resource pack can contact Emma to discuss the materials, their intended use and any training or introduction the team may need.
The resources are designed to support reflection, whole-child conversations and shared understanding between children, families and professionals. Tell us whether you would like to use them within one setting, across several teams, in family-support work or as part of your own training.
We will discuss the appropriate pack, access arrangements, permitted use, licensing and costs before anything is agreed. Please include your organisation’s name, number of settings or staff, intended audience and how you hope to use the resources.
Request resource-pack and organisational-use information
For research, co-design or pilot enquiries, please outline your proposed project. ELM resources support shared understanding and do not replace safeguarding procedures, statutory assessment or professional judgement.
“When lived experience and professional knowledge meet with curiosity and respect, understanding grows — and better support becomes possible.”
