Webinars

This webinar provides some insights into, and ways of tackling, the challenge of creating long term change in complex systems.  Taking a ‘mission’ lead approach to building consensus and alliances that can help overcome some of the pressure to focus on short term solutions to systemic issues. 

Testing out new ways of engaging people with early prevention using social media and behavioural insights

The webinar highlights two ‘proof of concept projects' we funded in 2023 that tested out new approaches to engaging people and encouraging them to seek help before they hit crisis point to help prevent homelessness. The first project tested out using a variety of social media platforms and messages to encourage families to seek help early and the second project tested out how behavioural insights can be used to refine contact methods and messaging with families at risk of homelessness.
