The NHS (England) Health Literacy Collaborative is collecting case studies looking at where there has been successful implementation of HL approaches and activities. Can you help?
We are particularly interested to include evidence of:
In her FETL Fellowship 2018 report, Dragana Ramsden explores what improving mental health and wellbeing means for how adult community learning leaders engage in collaborative working with mental health services.
Health Information Week (HIW) started in 2005 in the West Midlands. In 2017, the campaihn is England-wide.

Recently, I got the opportunity to talk on a radio station called Southall Radio on a regular slot called ‘care to share’ . Having had a close friend take part in an interview a week before - I took the opportunity to give our project and the MHFE some airtime. I chose the topic of 5 ways to wellbeing and it was given in English.
Having a member of staff or learner take their own life is a traumatic experience for peers to have to deal with. When events such as these occur in a close knit community, the repercussions are felt throughout the organisation both in the moment and several months later. Everyone is affected.

Initially Blackpool ACFL were working in partnership with the IAPT team, but half way through the joint working the IAPT service purchased a package which enabled them to deliver to large numbers of clients about depression, anxiety etc. This has impacted on our number of referrals from this route which have decreased considerably. We do still work with the IAPT service but on a much reduced scale.
However, due to funding cuts the BACFL service has picked up learners from the Arts for Health service and also the Well-being service as these no longer exist.
I usually tweet events and resources via @MHFEwhatsnew rather than posting them as news, but the Scottish Recovery Network, See Me, and Voices Of Experience landmark national event on human rights and recovery in June this year really does deserve a special news item. Thanks to Susan for sending details to me in the latest SRN eUpdate.
Rights for Life brought people together around human rights, mental health recovery and non-discrimination. It was designed to be solutions-focused, engaging and positive.
