A Conversation about What Matters To You

A Conversation about What Matters To You

Sheffield Health and Care Partnership is encouraging as many people as possible across the city to have a “what matters to you” conversation with someone on Thursday 9th June. This is part of an International person centred campaign.

Instead of asking people ‘what’s wrong?’ or ‘what’s the matter?’ they are encouraging people to ask questions that concentrate on finding out what really matters like ‘tell me about yourself’, ‘what’s working well?’, ‘what would help you to achieve your goals?’

The campaign organisers claim: “People are saying that having better, more meaningful conversations with others about what matters to them, helps them feel more confident, more motivated and more likely to achieve their ambitions. WMTY conversations help people to work better with others, to build their own skills and networks, and link into the resources in local communities. WMTY conversations can help people to get useful information or to overcome barriers and take advantage of opportunities. WMTY conversations can help people to have a better quality of life here in Sheffield.

This is really important to those of us working in public services. Things are changing and you can be a part of it…”

Sheffield HCP has a Twitter site and also has a WMTY site through which people can tell their own stories and hear other people’s.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
