Community Mental Health Development Lead for Eastern Devon (Mid/Exeter/East) with Devon Mental Health Alliance

Hello Everyone!

My name is Matt and I am working with Devon Mental Health Alliance to help implement the ambitious aims of the community mental health framework in Eastern Devon. This involves supporting communities in developing the resources and skills to meet the mental health needs of its residents.

Previous to this role I spent a short time as Director of Therapeutic Services for a Suicide Bereavement charity and a whole bunch of years working as a church minister in a deprived housing estate in Somerset, largely supporting individuals with severe mental health struggles including regular suicide attempt interventions.

My family and I live in Exmouth and love enjoying the beautiful Devon countryside as much as we are able to.
