We have produced a 2019 Mental Health Needs Assessment for Kent (PDF, 5.0 MB) and some additional analyses (PDF, 2.5 MB) to support the 2019 Mental Health Needs Assessment. There are some inaccuracies in section 2.2 which estimates the prevalence of common mental illnesses which have now been corrected in this supplementary report.
We have also produced the following needs assessments:
- Kent adult mental health needs assessment (for CCGs
- Emotional and mental health needs assessment for children and young people in Kent (PDF, 9.6 MB)
- Kent and Medway eating disorders needs assessment (PDF, 630.4 KB)
- Perinatal mental health needs assessment (PDF, 1.7 MB)
- Personality disorders needs assessment (PDF, 1.5 MB)
We have produced a Kent mental health & wellbeing index, which provides an assessment of the relative assets and vulnerabilities of each ward in Kent in respect of the mental health and wellbeing of the population within it.
The Kent and Medway Suicide Prevention team are responsible for delivering the local Suicide Prevention Strategy 2021 - 2025, which seeks to prevent suicides amongst our residents. The programme operates broadly in two ways, commissioning projects and system leadership / quality improvement.
The suicide prevention team have developed a resources Padlet which consists of campaign materials, training links, funded projects, research, reports and more. It is aimed at professionals to gain a better understanding of support that is available locally and to upskill in suicide prevention activity.
We welcome the opportunity to promote our teams work in relevant forums. If partners would like to find out more, or have a presentation from the team, please email suicideprevention@kent.gov.uk
