Spotlight Session: The ForMi Project

Demands on our staff can be significant at times, and this has not been helped by the pandemic and other recent pressures beyond our control.

Are there different ways in which we can support people’s wellbeing and personal development which provide tangible support, but also allow them to take more ownership of their own ‘journey'?

ForMi is a project that has been developed in North Wales by an organisation called Here2there (H2t). In 2020, H2t won a Welsh Government competition which brought with it significant research and development funding. This allowed for the development of the ForMi approach and an associated tool, together with pilots within 4 Local Authorities in Wales, and a number of other organisations.

More recently, H2t also worked with Cartrefi Conwy to pilot ForMi with some of their staff.

This spotlight session will share the learnings from this pilot and allow us to discuss the issues raised.
