Children's Mental Health Week case studies
Monday, February 7, 2022
During Children's Mental Health Week 2022, we're sharing case studies on how local services have supported children and young people in Sefton
How we use your views
Your ideas and experiences about healthcare help us to make sure your local NHS is the best it can be.
We are committed to ensuring that our work is led by our residents, from gathering your feedback in engagement exercises, events and networks, to using local data to inform our decisions about where to focus our work.
Here are some examples of how your views, feedback and experiences have informed our work and local services.
Friday, January 31, 2020 How a collaborative bringing together trans patients, partners and clinicians led to the development of Trans Health Sefton. Monday, January 20, 2020 From speaking with Healthwatch Sefton, our residents and GP practices, we know that running successful patient groups in local surgeries can be difficult, so we have begin a programme to support their development so more of our residents can get involved. Monday, December 16, 2019 We know from working with national, regional and local disability organisations that there is a significant gap in the NHS in carrying out ‘reasonable adjustments’ to enable people with a disability to engage effectively with their health services. Monday, October 28, 2019 We work closely with Healthwatch and over the last 12 months, we have further strengthened this collaborative approach to capture your views and experiences by joining forces with the organisation’s Community Champion network Wednesday, May 29, 2019 How we worked with NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK to roll out the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP). Thursday, March 7, 2019 How we collaborated with Merseyside Society for Deaf People (MSDP) to produce a video to help D/deaf people share their complaints and experiences of patient care. Wednesday, March 6, 2019 After speaking with local residents we established that there was a general lack of awareness in the area about where to go locally to get support for mental health conditions. As a result we came up with a joint communications campaign with Access Sefton to raise better awareness of their talking therapy service. Friday, February 22, 2019 We supported Sefton CVS to produce the “Connecting you to Services in Sefton” directory, which has enhanced access to a wide range of community services across the borough. Thursday, January 3, 2019 How we make an effort to engage and involve ethnic minority groups who are generally considered to be at increased risk of poor mental health.
