Healthwatch City of London Bulletin 16
Mental Health and Wellbeing focus group
Following on from our survey on the effects of Covid-19 on Mental Health and Wellbeing we are holding a focus group on Friday 6th November between 10:30am and 11:30am. We will be exploring the key areas that arose from the survey.
66% of you told us that Covid-19 has had a negative effect on your mental health and wellbeing, but that you didn’t access support, we’d like to understand why.
We’d also like to talk to the 81% who told us that the pandemic has had a negative effect on friend, family, children or carers you know.
We’ll be joined by colleagues from East London NHS foundation Trust who can advise on access to support services.
