Devon Mental Health Alliance
What we bring to the Alliance as CoLab is a passion for empowering communities to meet the needs of those living there, years of experience and skills in curating effective multi-agency spaces and projects that enable everyone to contribute at their best, and deeply rooted relationships across the sector with both statutory and VCSE stakeholders in mental health provision. This leads us to get involved with everything from helping small grassroots charities access the training they need, to establishing innovative projects filling urgent gaps in provision, to system-wide conversations about transforming how we do things like commissioning. All of this though, is about making sure everyone in Devon gets the help they need, when they need.
Project Information
The Devon Mental Health Alliance (DMHA) is a partnership between six organisations (CoLab Exeter, Devon Mind, Improving Lives, Rethink, Shekinah and Step One Charity) dedicated to providing support for people experiencing challenges with their mental health. The goal of the Alliance is to improve access to services and identify new opportunities to support people across all of Devon’s communities, using a collaborative approach that reaches across and brings together partners from the statutory, voluntary and community sectors.
If you would like an idea of what some of that work looks like on a day to day basis, we will be sharing a Community Mental Health Development Lead’s blog soon.
