Knowledge: Public health, well-being and inequalities

I am passionate about influencing social causes and throughout my 20 year career have developed detailed knowledge and expertise in mental health, well-being and addressing inequalities. I have delivered high profile, cross organisational campaigns such as We Need to Talk, which helped lead to the £170 million investment for psychological therapies in England.

Recent projects:

• Working collaboratively with alliances and advising on UK Government and Welsh Government mental health strategies.

• Developed ‘Making Prevention Happen: a Manifesto for the Welsh Parliament Elections 2021’ for the Mental Health Foundation and an influencing strategy..

• Developed Nature and Mental Health policy briefing for Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 called on policy changes in education, urban planning and improving inequalities to ensure better access to nature.

• Support and training for organisations and managers on how to support mental health in the workplace.
