We were treated to some refreshments, while filling in the new Ideas for Wellbeing questionnaires, sharing opinions about how local people can have better days. We then watched some short films made by local people about their experiences of mental health services. We then had the chance to put some challenging questions to a panel made up the film makers and service provider representatives.

Huge thanks to Solent University for hosting us and providing the refreshments, Healthwatch Southampton for partnering us and the integrated commissioning team for funding this brilliant project!

If you weren’t able to join us on the evening, we would still love to have your opinions to include in the survey, fill it in online here. There will be a chance to share your ideas in more depth, either of the phone, or joining in a discussion group, please do contact us at [email protected] if this is something you would be interested in doing.
