Who is involved?
Living Well UK aimed to build “Living Well systems of support" that put people's strengths and lived experience at the centre and are designed to help people recover and stay well as part of their community.
Living Well systems of support are distinguishable by a set of key features. These have been embodied by Living Well sites in different ways.
They prioritise working systemically in the following ways:
Outcomes
Are accountable for people centred outcomes that promote choice, recovery and citizenship
Citizens
See people as citizens within communities, rather than ‘patients’ or ‘professionals’
Voice
Put the voice of lived experience at the centre of services and
the system
Networks
Activate supportive
social networks
Access
Provide timely access
to support whereit is needed
Collaboration
Work collaboratively
and flatten hierarchies
Strengths
Work holistically, building up
and on people’s strengths
Learning
Have permission to test
and learn together
