Our Mission:
The Trafford Mental Health Collaborative is a partnership of mental health and wellbeing organisations, working alongside key system partners to achieve improved support for the communities we serve.
The Collaborative aims to provide mutual member support in raising funds; collaborating on contracts and raising awareness of the important work that is being done within the Trafford community. It is a live forum to share learning and expertise for the benefit of the members and the community we serve.
The Collaborative also offers training for members to help them provide the best support for their users. Training for each member organisation is offered by each member organisation. Members will have their own area of expertise that can have an impact on the work of others e.g., Trauma awareness, Dementia awareness, Support for carers, Suicide and self-harm, Equality, diversity, and inclusion, Neurodivergence etc.
Our Priorities:
- Integrate the Mental Health Collaborative into System-wide transformational change
- Strengthen relationships and collaboration within the Mental Health Collaborative and wider system partners
- Elevate the Visibility of the Mental Health Collaborative
- Advocate for a more balanced relationship between the VCFSE and statutory organisations
- Demonstrate our impact.
Our Values:
- Person-Centred & Strength-Based
- Equity, Inclusion & Cultural Awareness
- Trauma-Informed & Compassionate Practice
- Safeguarding & Safety
- Collaboration Over Competition
