Community-driven solutions: a co-production approach to improving mental wellbeing

Commissioned by Royal Borough of Greenwich Public Health, Healthwatch Greenwich facilitated a series of three workshops grounded in participatory design principles, aimed at co-designing community-led proposals for local interventions to support mental wellbeing.

The workshops were attended by local leaders who discussed practical ways to improve access to mental well-being information and resources within their communities. Local community leaders explored factors impacting people's mental wellbeing, including social, cultural, and financial factors as well as experiences of multiple forms of inequality. This was followed by exploring factors important for mental wellbeing and identifying actionable approaches to increase awareness of mental wellbeing resources, including developing a local forum and nominating community ambassadors to share information and signpost members to relevant resources.

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and Healthwatch Greenwich Collaborate to Improve Children’s Integrated Therapies Website

We worked with Oxleas NHS Trust to conduct usability testing on its website, ‘Children’s Integrated Therapies’, to better support parents and carers of children who use Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Speech and Language Therapists.

According to the results of the usability testing, most parents and carers were unaware of the Children’s Integrated Therapies website despite their children being regular users of some or all the therapies. Furthermore, many struggled to find the website and found it confusing and frustrating to navigate. Key information, such as contact details, was not easily accessible, and accessibility options were limited. However, the testing also revealed that parents felt the information on the site could be useful to them if presented in a more condensed or accessible way, such as using plain English and less clinical language.
