All about the Voice Exchange

The Voice Exchange is an established, skilled group of individuals working tirelessly to improve mental health services through lived experience. Over five years ago, I was lucky enough to be involved in setting up the Voice Exchange and I am so excited to be working with this amazing group of people again.


About the Voice Exchange

The Voice Exchange is a diverse group of people with lived experience of mental health and neurodivergence. They bring a wealth of experience in designing, delivering and evaluating mental health services. The group is hosted by SMART London.


How the Voice Exchange can help your organisation

 

  • Support with service design, whether it is being part of your co-production panel or contributing to policies and strategies

  • Review accessibility, inclusivity and quality of your services

  • Partner with you on service pilots, reports or projects

  • Gather feedback to inform your work

  • Host and facilitate listening events to bring people together to improve services

  • Offer training to your staff on topics such as lived experience or tackling stigma


Where it all started

The Voice Exchange was set up in 2021 as part of a project with Healthwatch and Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. The result of this project was the Voice Exchange Report, which outlines five requirements for mental health services – compassion, humanity, engagement, accountability and continuity. Today, the Voice Exchange continues to champion these values.
