Our mental health priority
We work with the healthcare system to share people’s experiences of mental health services - as well as the impact that wider determinants of health and health inequalities can have on mental health - in order to improve mental health services for local people. As part of our mental health priority we also provide information and advice to help people navigate the complex mental health landscape.
Our ultimate goal is that the population of Surrey know what services are available to help support their mental wellbeing, understand how to access these and are able to do so.
Recent work under this priority
Our recent work under this priority includes:
- Following the completion of Enter & View visits to two mental health in-patient settings our reports are now available on our website - Derby House and Hillcroft.
- We are currently exploring whether men feel part of their community - what impact it has if they don’t - and whether they’re aware of services available to help support their emotional wellbeing. We are out and about in the community talking to men about their thoughts as well as running a survey which can be completed online or in paper copy by request.
Reports and bulletins relating to this priority can be found under the mental health category of our reports section on our website.
You can find out more about the mental health support available in Surrey on our mental health support page.
