The nmhdu has developed and
published a mental wellbeing checklist. It is simple and easy to use and
helps the reader become more familiar with the major influences on mental
well-being and provides a quick reference source to help with local improvements
and actions as part of local commissioning, development, review, delivery or
evaluation.
The checklist is designed for
use across organisations and sectors e.g. the voluntary and community sector,
private sector, education, community development and particularly for those
working in Public Health and Health Improvement, Local Government, Social Care,
NHS and Employment where mental well-being is a growing priority. The checklist
is evidence based and provides information on what we know protects
individual and community mental well-being, what the wider determinants of
mental well-being are and which populations face the greatest inequalities in
mental well-being.
The checklist helps to answer some
familiar questions for developing local public health and health improvement
work, such as: Are specific protective factors being addressed appropriately -
at the individual and community level?
Are the wider structural determinants being considered? Has attention
been paid to particular groups - is it equitable for all people?
