Feel Well report is published

A Feel Well Report, looking at accessing services and challenges for those with mental ill health, has been published.

The Feel Well Deep Dive is the second in a series of reports to be published as companions to the Community Assets Mapping refresh of North-East Essex, originally published in Spring 2021.

Using the North East Essex Health and Wellbeing Alliance domains as a framework for each report, there will ultimately be a library of six reports:

• Start Well – completed over the Summer of 2021
• Feel Well – conducted during Autumn 2021
• Be Well
• Age Well
• Stay Well
• Die Well – scheduled to begin in Winter 2022

The report has been produced by Healthwatch Essex, CVS Tendring and Community360, working in partnership, and collaborating with a Steering Group which has included the Feel Well domain lead, representatives from district and county councils, Essex Fire and Rescue, the Local Delivery Pilot, North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group and ESNEFT.

The aim was to gain a deeper understanding of what facilitates and what presents barriers to access to services and how to address them, the key challenges facing people with mental ill health (especially those aged between 18 and 55 years of age),  local cultural factors and limitations, and transitioning from children to adult services.
