Better Mental Health Strategy: Consultation survey

Overview

Good mental health is essential for individuals, families and communities to thrive. 

Mental health is not just about preventing mental illness, but also improving the things that keep us well in our communities.

Our social connections, the environment we live in and the opportunities we have all affect our health and wellbeing, including our mental health.

Mental health is a natural part of everyday life, and individuals with mental health challenges can lead fulfilling lives and actively participate in our community.

The Sandwell Better Mental Health strategy 2023-2026 focuses on improving population wellbeing and preventing mental health issues. Our goal is to make sure that people experiencing mental health problems can get the right care at the right time and at the right place, while also supporting everyone in Sandwell to have good mental wellbeing.

Why your views matter

As part of Sandwell’s Better Mental Health Strategy 2023-2026 there are twelve key recommendations.  It is important that we make sure the recommendations are correct and we give all of our Sandwell residents and organisations an opportunity to feedback on what is important to them.

Your views are important to us and completing the consultation surveys below will help provide insight and understanding of what impacts most on mental health and wellbeing for you and in your communities.  Your contribution will help us to understand what works already and where improvements are needed.
