CVS Mental Health and Mental Wellbeing third sector survey

Please help!

We know that many of you are working flat out at the moment supporting people who are struggling to maintain their mental health and wellbeing during the current crisis.

We can see that many of you are:

  • finding new ways to connect with clients you were already working with prior to COVID or with new groups of clients
  • expanding the availability or frequency of the services you normally provide
  • developing completely new services
  • developing new levels of services to meet the increased needs that clients are experiencing

We want to try to capture some of this information and to better understand the increase in demand that you have been and continue to experience in the period since COVID 19 lockdown commenced.

We want to use the information that we gather to help to inform conversations with our local NHS agencies and a range of other funders. We also want to ensure that there is a good coverage of mental health and wellbeing support across the whole county and that it is delivered to all age groups.

We want to hear from as many of you as possible. We have developed two surveys that we hope that you can complete.
