Have Your Say on Wellbeing in Belfast

Monday, 13 August 2012 14:14

People living in Belfast are invited to share their thoughts and ideas about emotional health and wellbeing by completing the Belfast Strategic Partnership's 'Have your say Belfast' survey, which started arriving in homes in August or online at www.haveyoursaybelfast.com.

The Belfast Strategic Partnership (BSP) was set up in 2011 by the Public Health Agency (PHA), Belfast City Council and Belfast Health and Social Care Trust to address the significant levels of inequality across the Belfast area.

'Have your say Belfast' seeks views from the people of Belfast on their own emotional health and wellbeing, that of their family and communities. There is also an option to add ideas to improve future support. The survey replies will be part of the information used for planning future developments over the next few months.

Dr Eddie Rooney, Chief Executive, PHA, and current Chair of BSP, said:  "Replies from 'Have your say Belfast' will inform our plans to address and improve the factors that influence good emotional wellbeing. This will help us all to concentrate our efforts on preventing ill health and challenging the avoidable and unjust differences in health and wellbeing experienced by the best and the worst-off across Belfast, so I urge all residents to participate and share their views."

'Have your say Belfast' survey closes on 24 August 2012.
