What is this survey about?
Healthwatch Norfolk has been working on a three-year project to evaluate changes made to Community Mental Health Services in Norfolk and Waveney. We held a survey in 2021 to find out the experience of adults severely affected by mental illness of using Community Mental Health Services.
In this final year of the project, we would like to understand if adults severely affected by mental illness can see and have experienced changes in Community Mental Health Services in Norfolk and Waveney. Things may still not be as good as you would like, but it is important to understand if the changes implemented are starting to make things better.
We are completing this work in the Waveney area with the knowledge and consent of Healthwatch Suffolk.
If you are an adult (aged 18+) living in Waveney and have been affected by a mental health condition in the past five years, we would like to hear about your experiences of Community Mental Health Services.
We are interested in hearing from adults severely affected by mental illness (SMI), particularly those affected by:
· Psychosis
· Bi-polar Disorder
· Schizophrenia / Schizoaffective Disorder
· Personality Disorder
· An Eating Disorder
· Severe Depression
· A mental health condition resulting in a need for rehabilitation
The survey will take around 10 minutes to complete.

Anonymised survey data will be shared with Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust (NSFT) to enable them to review their progress with the Community Mental Health Transformation.
