Where would you turn for mental health support?

Dorset has a wide range of free mental health services but people don’t always know they’re there or who they’re for.

We want to change that.

Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey and help us understand:
• What people know about local mental health services
• What might stop people getting support
• What would make it easier to find the right help

The feedback will be used to help us improve the information available in our local communities, so that more people can find the mental health support they need.

The survey should take around 5-10 minutes to complete and your answers will be anonymous.

Please share – the more people who take part, the more we can do to help.
