Co-production approach
Changing services and the systems is not done overnight. We are on a journey that requires the participation, imagination and hard work of many partners: people with lived experience, staff, carers, clinicians, leaders and commissioners of services. We are committed to co-production, which means listening to multiple views, especially those marginalised or ‘hard to reach’, and creating multiple opportunities for people to contribute, share, learn and participate in meaningful ways to shape our emerging system.
Who is working on this programme?
Living Well was developed with the local community, such as colleagues and people with lived experience of mental health difficulties. There are many ways we work together such as:
- We speak to people who have used the service about what works and what can be improved.
- Each Living Well team has Peer Support Workers. Peers have lived experience of services and part of their role is using this experience to improve the service.
- Living Well was created with the help of local Collaboratives (see below).
