Yesterday (10th Oct) saw World Mental Health Day being widely recognised more than ever before. Locally, a charity called 'Response' has begun working on behalf of AWP and BaNES Swindon and Wiltshire CCG to complete a project over the next year.

The projects will be identifying opportunities to improve mental health support services and support the workaround hospital admission avoidance and facilitating early discharge. Information about their project and how you can get involved are outlined below:

There are three strands:

We are conducting a service review to identify opportunities to strengthen mental health support services. We are now gathering feedback from service providers, health and social care partners, third sector organisations and people with lived experience of mental health challenges and their carers.

Please complete a short online survey (open for 3 more weeks only!) by clicking here if you are:

Over the age of 16 and have experience of mental health support services in BSW
Are a member of staff working in or with mental health support services
Are a carer, friend, family member or supporter of someone who has used mental health support services. All replies will be anonymised and confidential

We are also holding one to one interviews with individual people and focus groups. Please contact us using the details below if you (or a group) would prefer to share information in this way or need any further information or support to share your views.
