Synergi Leeds
Synergi-Leeds Network
The Synergi-Leeds network meets on a bi-monthly basis and acts as a catalyst for change, providing a context within which connections and collaborations are made, and members come together to share and discuss good practice.
It is a network of statutory and voluntary sector organisations committed to reducing ethnic inequalities in mental health, with a focus on reducing mental health act detentions. The membership reflects the approach of developing action across the whole system and life course. The membership of the Network now includes representation from the education sector and the ambition is the have representation from a variety of sectors including housing, leisure, employment, and criminal justice – all sectors that impact upon mental health and wellbeing.
The Synergi Leeds Network aims to energise and enable people to make changes within their own services and systems and as such, has grown into a community of practice.
A small core team supports the network functioning and capacity building across the system.
The core team focuses on:
1. developing the network.
2. co-designing Creative Spaces events with experts by experience
3. supporting the development of the Synergi grants programme/ and influencing outwards to inform wider programmes in the city including the Community Mental Health Transformation programme.
