The Synergi-Leeds Partnership is a citywide approach where the focus has been to tackle the long-standing issue of the overrepresentation of people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities admitted to crisis mental health services or detained under the Mental Health Act. It began in 2017 as a collaboration between Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Leeds City Council’s Public Health team and other VCS services.
Initially supported by the Synergi Collaborative Centre and latterly by Words of Colour, the partnership uses Synergi and Words of Colour's ‘Creative Spaces’ model to host co-produced events and programmes that champion the voices of people with lived experience, challenge systemic and structural racism and discrimination, and galvanise people to act.
Join Joy and Sharon as they share the key learning points and main challenges from the co-produced initiative, including access to funding, and how they work with divergence to encourage solution-focused conversations across systems and communities. Sharon and Joy will also reveal what they hope the legacy of this work will be as well as their future ambitions.
