“I’ve never had a place to call home, I’ve never felt settled…” Imagine being the person behind this statement. How would you feel? How different would your life be? How would you cope?People’s Voice Media and our partners at <a href="https://www.gorsehillstudios.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gorsehill Studios</a>, <a href="https://mroom.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Men’s Room</a> and <a href="https://healthiermanchester.org/winning/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Winning Hearts and Minds</a> have been delivering separate but interconnected activities that have involve people from across Greater Manchester sharing their stories about their health and wellbeing. The stories gathered provide a rich and intricate understanding of wellbeing from the perspectives of people who are often marginalised, overlooked by services or who have the least resource and power in society such as young people in the care system, sex workers and people experiencing health, housing and economic inequalities. Tying in with Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, we are delivering this online knowledge exchange to share with you the learning about people’s wellbeing that have emerged from these stories, and the recommendations we are making based these insights. We are looking for strategic decision-makers and leaders from across the third and public sectors in health &amp; social care fields and beyond, in Greater Manchester to join us rethink what we know about wellbeing. Building on the new ways of working and partnerships that have emerged during the COVID-19 response, the event will catalyse approaches to making our services and support structures kinder and more human in their nature, led by empathy and understanding. As part of this participatory workshop we will:1. Listen to unheard voices on varied topics that are connected to wellbeing such as experiences of the care system, volunteering, housing, neighbourhoods and addiction.2. Exchange ideas, knowledge and ways of working that can support the recommendations based on the insights from the lived experience stories.	3. Respond by identifying opportunities for change within our own service delivery, organisational policies or wider strategic directions that will better support wellbeing.This is your opportunity to listen to often overlooked voices, and think strategically about how you and your organisation can respond pro-actively on a local level and in collaboration with others. Instructions of how to attend this online event will be sent out to attendees via email. All you will need is a laptop/tablet/smartphone with an Internet connection. Places are limited so please only book if you 100% intend to join.
