Exeter's Community Health and Wellbeing Alliance Meeting

My name is Matt Merriam and I am the Community Mental Health Development Lead for Eastern Devon, working with CoLab in Exeter on behalf of the Devon Mental Health Alliance.My role is about developing the infrastructure to catalyse and support the changes needed by the mental health system across communities and statutory services. I do this through place-based community development, cross-sector relational practice, and strategic system change.If you are involved in engaging with or supporting individuals with complex needs please look me up and get in touch about what you are doing and the support you need.

Do you or your organisation support people in Exeter with their physical, emotional, or social wellbeing? We are creating a space for anyone in the health, wellbeing, and social care sector within Exeter to connect with other similar organisations, support one another, learn from each other, and discover new ways to work better together for a healthier city of Exeter. Exeter is a beautiful city with loads of people and organisations working hard to improve the health and lives of our population in innovative ways. On the flip side of that, the needs of our population in Exeter are significant, funding is consistently reduced or harder to find, and we have lacked the space to nurture our relationships with, and understanding of, one another. The morning will start with an opportunity to meet and network over a cup of coffee/tea, catching up informally with each other about how everything is going. We will aim to start the meeting officially at 10am with an opportunity for those in the room to introduce themselves and share about the ways in which they are contributing to the health and wellbeing of Exeter. After that, we will explore some tools we will be using to track and evidence whether meeting in this way has any meaningful impact on the health and wellbeing work in Exeter. This will be our own sort of bespoke use of Social Network Analysis and Social System Mapping. The morning will end with a chance to discuss and explore some more of the practicalities of what this space should look like, who needs to be here, and what we can do together to create a space that is supportive, relational, and a catalyst for the right change in our city. This will include inviting attendees to fill out an expression of interest to chair the alliance meetings moving forward. This is a great opportunity that you won't want to miss. Please reserve your place now as there is a capacity limit to the room we will be using. We would also like anyone involved in providing health and wellbeing support in Exeter to fill in this simple survey before we meet in April:https://forms.office.com/e/n3RpySgwe7

Agenda

A chance to grab a drink, network, and meet others attending. Spaces to share thoughts about how well organisations are working together will be scattered around the room as well.

Soft Start - Tea/Coffee Meet and Greet

Everyone will take their seats to get started at 10am and Devon Mental Health Alliance will introduce the morning, why we are here, and what we hope to get from this time together. We will also be introducing Amy Slater and how her role with Royal Devon University Hospital will be able to support this alliance as we move forward.

Introduction

An opportunity to briefly share about the health and wellbeing work they are doing in Exeter. If time allows for it, we will also give an opportunity for people to share any gaps and challenges that this Alliance may want to focus on in future meetings.

Getting to Know Each Other Better

Break

Looking ahead to the future, we will discuss the proposed tools and benefits of tracking the impact this Alliance has on the health and wellbeing provision in Exeter.

Social System Mapping

A wrap up of the morning and a brief exploration of how we will develop this space. This will include an invitation for organisations to fill in an expression of interest form to chair the meetings.
