About this project
Salford Men’s Mental Health Commission is gathering information from men in Salford on what things they do to help them stay mentally well as well as those things that cause stress and low moods. From these findings, members of the group will be writing an independent report that will be published and presented to Salford City Council and other NHS and community voluntary leaders. It will have facts and recommendations about what more needs to be done, to help men to help themselves.
Information is being gathered through surveys, stories and focus groups, which is open to any man over the age of 18, living in Salford. The questions are all optional and will provide important insight to help services get a better understanding of what men need and to make improvements.
All of the answers will be kept anonymous.
About the Salford Men’s Mental Health Commission
The commission is a panel made up of 11 Salford men, who have come together from different backgrounds, co-designing this project from the start. Supported by Healthwatch Salford and Salford City Council, the commission’s aim is to advise the council and other NHS and community voluntary leaders about what more needs to be done to help men stay mentally well.
