Reading is conducting a Needs Assessment to further understand mental health across the borough, capturing the challenges and strengths of the system. This Needs Assessment is part of the work happening linked to the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy and will go on to inform the commissioning of services and shape mental health support available across the borough. To help us develop this Needs Assessment, we need to understand what is working well and what needs to be improved.
