En Voyage ELAINE WYLLIE DANDELION FOUDATION FOUNDERS JOCK PETTITT AND MARC WINN disruptive innovators. How would the system respond to change? My intentions were always good: who could not support a movement to dramatically improve our community’s mental health, and ultimately save taxpayers money? After two years of Thrive 2020, I felt that we had built enough support from the community, the Health & Social Care Committee, and our government, that I could stand up as a citizen and doctor and lead with confidence. It is still a highly aspirational idea – to “solve” mental health – but if anywhere can do it, I believe Guernsey can.’ It’s exciting to see how many initiatives have arisen following Thrive 2020. MUG Men’s Shed is in the process of being created by dedicated volunteers; based on the successful UK Men’s Sheds Association and inspired by a talk by Patrick Abrahams at Thrive 2016, it will offer a place for men to share skills and social interaction. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) was introduced by Sue Hayward at the second event, and MHFA training courses are now being offered by Guernsey Mind to businesses and individuals alike. After Dr Melrose Stewart’s talk on her involvement in the Channel 4 documentary Nursing Home for 4 Year Olds, numerous nursing homes and preschools are working out how to join forces. The online Guernsey Recovery Community Group was set up by patients and staff in partnership, enabling people to connect and support each other in mental health and addiction recovery, and has nearly a thousand members to date. Shifts in States policy are underway: as well as the launch of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy in 2017, the new Bailiwick education curriculum has been implemented to promote ‘joyous and purposeful learning’. People have been inspired by the speakers to take on their own projects for the benefit of the whole island. There are a number of charities, social movements and other initiatives soon to be revealed, all inspired by Thrive 2020. The Dandelion Foundation reminds us that we don’t need permission to make our community happier and healthier. One of the most popular talks at the 2017 event was by Elaine Wyllie, who introduced the Daily Mile to schools. Children doing a Daily Mile in school demonstrated improved fitness, learning and behaviour. This simple yet effective initiative has already been adopted by many Guernsey schools, without the need for a government directive. Marc, Greg and Jock have brought in world resources to inspire us and show us the way, but making a real difference at a community level depends on us taking up the baton, not waiting for government to provide the resources or lead the way. ‘We exist to motivate, inspire and accelerate the process of change,’ says Marc. The community revolution has already started, can you help make a difference? Find out more at dandelion.gg and thrive2020.org. All the talks from October 2017 can be accessed via thrive2020.org. 36 En Voyage | Aurigny’s Magazine
