Last year the group concentrated on the National Mental Health Strategy. This year the focus is on the Impact of Covid-19 on Mental Health and Wellbeing.
The next meeting is on the 1st of February 2022 evening and is asking about the impact of Covid 19 for people with pre-existing health issues or disabilities.
- What impact has the pandemic had on your mental health?
- Do you think you have been disproportionately affected because of your mental health?
- How did the pandemic affect your access to things that help your mental health?
