"Should be more than a one off, let's make change a reality"
These were the words of one of the participants of our second Working Together for Change (WTFC) event held at the end of September. This time the focus was involving people using, commissioning and working within mental health services in the London borough of Lambeth.
In relation to the process, we undoubtedly found it harder to involve a range of external professionals in attending, however the contributions from the commissioners and the officer from the British Transport Police who did attend, highlighted the benefit of such involvement.
It is striking that carers at our first WTFC event back in June - which focused on people using, commissioning and working in learning disability services -mentioned the desire to see action rather than talk and this was again reiterated at the second event by people who use mental health services. There is a danger in doing the listening but not acting on what has been heard. The value of WTFC is the opportunity to action plan together, minimising the risk of nothing changing as a result. As one participant said "It was an eye opener: it was important to talk about it and most important to talk about what to do."
