Help Beat respond to the NI Mental Health Strategy consultation (SHORT VERSION)

9% of survey complete.

The Northern Ireland Executive is developing a new 10-year mental health strategy. They have published a draft version so that members of the public, charities, and other organisations can provide feedback. The draft Mental Health Strategy and consultation documents can be found here - https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/mentalhealthstrategy. This is an important opportunity to help shape Health and Social Care services in Northern Ireland, and your voice is important. Beat will be submitting a response to the consultation, and we would love to include feedback from people who have/have had an eating disorder, as well as families and other carers.

This anonymous survey should take 10-15 MINUTES to complete. This survey will be open until Thursday 18 March 2021. Alternatively, if you have more time available we have created a longer survey that enables you to provide more detailed feedback.
