Great seeing @DartingtonSDL alum @ShreyaSonthalia Present at the @systemdynamics_ conference. Great work looking at employment as a social determinant of mental health.

If you missed the launch of these amazing research findings and the North Star vision, you can find a few highlights here!

[Dartington Service Design Lab @DartingtonSDL]

Introducing today's #NorthStar🌟 vision, to mark our latest State of the System research is @YLvsCancer CEO @RachelKirbyR:
"Today marks the beginning of a new future. A day where we begin to transform the state of the system for children and young people with #cancer."

[Leanne Freeman 🇺🇦🇺🇦 @SBuckaneer]

And of course I'm very grateful to all the young people, parents and professionals who spoke with us for this work.

[Leanne Freeman 🇺🇦🇺🇦 @SBuckaneer]

It has really been wonderful to work on and I'm so proud of these findings. Working with the partnership between @CCLG_UK @emctrust @TeenageCancer and @YLvsCancer has been a rare and wonderful experience.

We began 2023 by launching our work in partnership with @YLvsCancer, @TeenageCancer, @CCLG_UK & @emctrust to re-imagine systems of support for children, young people and families affected by cancer.

The needs of children, young people and families are rising and becoming increasingly complex. To address the complex challenges affecting children and families, we need to be more systemic in our approaches.

What an insightful session exploring systems mapping and group model building with colleagues at the @UK_PRP_CoP Conference. @KatiePotter93, @MeganKeenan_ , @delimaediane, Niran and our community researchers did a great job facilitating the session. Thank you for attending.

[Leanne Freeman 🇺🇦🇺🇦 @SBuckaneer]

I'm gutted to miss this presentation. Kailo is such a great project to work on and there's so much to talk about!

[Dartington Service Design Lab @DartingtonSDL]

If you're interested in some systems training like the work we're doing with Barnardo's, then drop us a line at [email protected]

[Leanne Freeman 🇺🇦🇺🇦 @SBuckaneer]

I really loved getting to do this activity with the @barnardos team! Interaction Loops are something I've been thinking about for a while as a #systemsthinking activity and this was really the best possible group to do it with!

[Dartington Service Design Lab @DartingtonSDL]

We're delighted to launch the first of our NEW #SystemsBlogs series exploring #SystemsDynamics tools & approaches to motivate change. Our #systems training is launching soon & expressions of interest are welcome on our website...

[Leanne Freeman 🇺🇦🇺🇦 @SBuckaneer]

And that's the power of system mapping in this way! There's even more I'd like to think through with this tool. In the Barnardo's workshop we made fixes-that-fail and unintended consequences. I'd love to integrate the double loop learning model.
