Looking Forward Latrobe

In May and June of 2021 the Latrobe Valley Health Assembly worked with Urban Scale Interventions on a co-design process to improve mental health and wellbeing through place-based interventions.

Through a 6-week process, the team engaged with a range of stakeholders, from health practitioners and charities to the creative industries, and from the breadth of the the local community. In total over 170 people were engaged in a variety of ways in the process.

The result was the creation of a series of 4 Wellbeing Principles, unique to the Latrobe Valley and strategic context.

Each principle has a series of guiding actions and indicators to measure success. The principles have been adopted by the Health Assembly to take forward for future projects.
