Have your say

We would like your views on our new Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy for 2024 to 2029. 

The strategy includes an action plan setting out how the council will work with partners to address the increasing need for mental health support, and tackle health inequalities. It focuses on three key themes: 

  • Prevention: preventing mental ill-health before it arises and preventing any worsening of mental health problems as early as possible
  • Early intervention: identifying mental ill-health as early as possible and intervening early with the right support.
  • Supported and living well: supporting individuals in a holistic way so that people with mental ill-health can live well in North Somerset.

The strategy has been developed in collaboration with a range of partners. It builds on data, engagement and insight from the council, health, care, voluntary and community sectors, people with lived experience of mental ill-health, findings from regional and national studies, and the council’s own Adult and Children’s and Young People’s mental health needs assessments.

Your feedback will be used to develop a final draft of the strategy which is expected to be published this summer.
