  • New models of meeting priority needs

    In exploring new ways of meeting the priority needs of our communities we will encourage models, such as co-operatives and mutuals, which give greater influence and voice to staff and users. in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.

Since the Mental Health Works event held at the Park Inn in April of 2016, what originally started out as a small working group of key stakeholders has become a major networking group for the Borough of Telford and Wrekin with the mental wellbeing of the local population as its primary focus.

Telford Mental Health Forum (TMHF) meets bi-monthly with representation drawn from a broad range of stakeholder organisations including NHS Commissioning, DWP, TACT, Citizen’s Advice, Telford Mind, SSSFT and several smaller charities and community interest companies that deal with grief recovery and suicide prevention. In addition, the Chair of TMHF is an active member of the joint Shropshire and Telford Strategic Group in developing the strategic action plan for the reduction of suicide.
