We are working with our partners, Opus Independents, a not for profit Sheffield based social enterprise, this Mental Health Awareness Week, to host a free summit on Saturday 17 May to help finalise our Trust strategy.
The summit is being held part of the city’s Festival of Debate which runs until 30 May.
It is open to everyone and we want to hear from as many people in Sheffield as possible, especially communities who are often underrepresented in decision making.
During the summit we will be looking at topics including:
- Providing care closer to home
- Digital access and mental health
- Prevention and early support for people
- Equity, inclusion and what truly accessible services look like
Feedback will be used to inform our engagement plan in particular but will also be fed into specific projects such as our digital agenda.
Melissa Simmonds, health equity community network leader for SHSC, said:
“We really want to hear from as many people as possible about our services to make sure that we are providing the best possible care for the people of Sheffield.
“Please come along to the event and share your views and thoughts.”
The event will be held from 2pm to 4pm in the Showroom Workstation. The address is:
Creative Lounge
15 Paternoster Row
Sheffield
S1 2BX
There will also be the chance to learn more about all of the services we provide at SHSC, including ADHD and autism diagnosis, talking therapies, inpatient and community mental health support, perinatal services, older adult care and gender reassignment support.
Refreshments will be provided.
