New Resource – Welsh Ambulance Service Mental Health Signposting Leaflet ‘You are not alone’

The Welsh Ambulance Service Mental Health Leaflet entitled ‘You are not alone’, is now available, giving a range of Mental Health Support Helplines. Whether you’re concerned about someone you know or work with, yourself or a loved one, these helplines and websites can offer expert advice.

Follow the links for:

Welsh Leaflet and English Leaflet

The idea came from engagement with people who experience mental health needs by our Welsh Ambulance Service Patient Experience and Community Involvement Team. This has now been created in partnership with Interlink RCT and Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil and their Service User Representatives from the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board Together for Mental Health Partnership Board. The new leaflet contains a list of well-established National Helplines, indicating if they are free and available 24/7 (or with relevant limits to this).

The ‘You are not alone’ leaflet -also available to download from NHSDW and WAST Websites- is now being sent electronically to all Partner Agencies, so please circulate widely to all your networks. Also packaged ready for delivery to all ambulance stations across Wales and ready to be distributed in community events as part of the Welsh Ambulance Services’ ongoing Community Involvement work, it is for Ambulance Crews to be able to give to patients as needed, signposting people to support for their mental health needs.

We hope that it proves to be a valuable resource and source of support,

North Powys Wellbeing Survey

Under the Powys Regional Partnership Board (PRPB), Powys County Council, Powys Teaching Health Board, Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations and other key partners from public service bodies, the private sector, and voluntary third sector organisations, are working together to take forward a once in a generation opportunity to transform health and wellbeing services in north Powys.

The North Powys Wellbeing Programme aims to focus on wellbeing; promote early help and support by being able to provide technology that helps you live at home; tackle the biggest causes of ill health and poor wellbeing; and ensure joined up care involving neighbourhood teams and communities working together so that you have a more seamless service when you need it.

To capture your experiences and valuable insights, we are asking people of all ages to complete a survey either online, or by paper copy from your local library where they can be left upon completion. We can also send out a paper copy directly to you by contacting us at powyswellbeing.north@wales.nhs.uk.

This survey aims to find out what matters most to the people of north Powys when it comes to looking after their health and wellbeing. How do people look after their fitness - both physical and mental - and what is important in terms of a good quality of life?

With your feedback, we will be able to plan our services in the area so that it is able to best meet the needs of people in north Powys.

To complete the survey in English, please follow: https://haveyoursay.powys.gov.uk/adults-services/north-powys-wellbeing-survey/

Early Intervention in Psychosis Engagement Event

Health & Social Care Workforce Strategic Framework Development Event

During July ‘19’ we continued the conversation we started earlier in the year about what our County needs to best support its workforce to deliver the Health & Care Strategy for Powys. You told us:

We want to reach as many people as possible to contribute to the development of the Strategic Framework, so have secured further workshops over the coming months.

These will help us discuss and test ideas already shared, and start to build a Health & Social Care Workforce Strategic Framework that will help us support a resilient workforce now and into the future.
