Grantham: Healthwatch need new fathers, farmers, Military families and Veterans for a mental health survey

New fathers, farmers, military families and veterans wanted for mental health survey

New fathers and agricultural workers are among the groups needed for a survey to find out what needs to be improved in their mental health care in Lincolnshire.

The latest project from Healthwatch Lincolnshire takes a mental health focus and wants to hear from groups of people who are currently underrepresented or unheard in healthcare discussions.

By finding out the experiences of new fathers, farmers, farm workers, food factory staff and the families of military personnel and veterans, Healthwatch Lincolnshire can amplify their voices and pinpoint then address their specific needs.

Dean Odell, Healthwatch Lincolnshire Contract Manager said: “Mental health can be areal challenge, especially for people who face unique pressures like new dads, those working in farming, or military personnel and veterans.

“This survey is a chance to make sure their voices are heard, and to find out what’s working well and what needs improving.

“By focusing on these groups, we hope to shine a light on any barriers they face when trying to get support, so we can work together to make mental health care more accessible and effective across Lincolnshire.”

The survey is available online here and alternative formats are available by calling 01205 820892 or emailing info@healthwatchlincolnshire.co.uk
