In this episode, Tracey and Dan are joined by Fran Timmins, Director of Nursing for Mental Health at St Vincent’s Health Melbourne.  Fran shares how she used co-design internally within the hospital to be able to co-design a Safe Haven Cafe, which has been a real success.

Here’s a taste of what Dan, Tracey and Fran cover in the conversation:

  • Fran spoke about the concept of Safe Haven Cafe which is driven by what the customers want and how it’s peer-led by lived experience of mental health, drug and alcohol with built-in clinical support.
  • The process or methodology in creating a co-design project in public health.
  • Challenges and tips on how to navigate a large organisation to be able to get a project off the ground using co-design especially in public health.
