Our priorities

Working with our communities, and drawing on our resources and expertise, we support local people to reach their full potential. Our priorities are to:

• Improve mental health and wellbeing for children and young people, including addressing self-harm, emotional-based school absence and anxiety, through integrated working with partners
• Improve the outcomes of those experiencing chronic pain, depression and/or anxiety in our communities by providing holistic, de-medicalised intervention and peer support
• Explore insight and data on pain and Musculo-skeletal (MSK) conditions and scope further work 
• Support individuals to be active within their communities and maintain their independence as they age
• Recognise and support those with caring responsibilities and address isolation and loneliness in our rural locations
• Deliver improved outcomes for individuals at risk of falling through a preventative and proactive approach
• Learn from local models that are being trialled in the community to improve outcomes for people who are frail with complex needs
• Grow our Asset-based Community Development (ABCD) approach by developing and implementing the South Gloucestershire ABCD Framework, supported by Community Inclusion Grants
• Explore the Better Care Fund as a mechanism to support further joint working and a shift towards more personalised and proactive care.
