This JSNA builds on the recommendation in ‘The Roads to Wellbeing’, the annual report of the Director of Public Health 2016-17, to undertake a needs assessment of mental health and wellbeing in Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster. It has been undertaken to inform and support strategy development, commissioning decision making, and action planning to improve mental health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities across the Bi-borough area
The format of the JSNA follows that recommended in the Mental Health JSNA Toolkit published by Public Health England (PHE). Data has been drawn from a number of sources including population level data analysis, local service data, national and local research and literature, and service user feedback and views.
