Coming soon - this is a placeholder for the Annual Report of the Director of Public Health 2016/17

This year's report of the Director of Public Health focusses on mental wellbeing, the importance of protecting and improving our own mental wellbeing, and that of the people around us – our families, friends, neighbours, and local communities.  Key messages from the report are: 

• Poor mental wellbeing can affect us and those around us at any point in our lives. Mental wellbeing can impact on all aspects of our lives and is ‘everyone’s business’
• We can all play a role in improving our own and others’ mental wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Take Notice, and Give
• To help build the mental resilience of our local communities we need to better understand residents’ mental wellbeing and what works to improve this.  
• We can achieve this by working in partnership with residents and other organisations and considering mental wellbeing when commissioning and evaluating services  
• We need to ensure investment is channelled towards prevention and early intervention not just towards treatment  

For the first time the annual report can be viewed as a PDF document or as an online version.  the online version includes links to resources to improve our own mental wellbeing
