We Can Talk is delivered in partnership with NHS England and more than 70 acute and ambulance trusts to improve staff’s knowledge, skills and confidence in supporting people in mental health crisis.
Hospital staff working in acute care settings consistently report a lack of confidence and competency in caring for people with mental health needs and research shows too many patients have negative experiences of presenting to hospital due to their mental health.
We Can Talk is a co-designed and co-delivered project to kickstart a process of cultural change in order to transform the experience of people who attend hospital due to their mental health and the hospital staff who support them by providing training and supporting community-building and quality improvement initiatives. We encourage Trusts (and senior leaders) to find out about joining the project and all NHS staff can sign-up for a free account to access training, resources and events for free.
