A survey about mental health and well-connected communities in rural Scotland is currently underway.

The Well Connected Communities survey is being carried out by Support in Mind and follows on from research in 2016 carried out by Support in Mind and Scotland's Rural College where people with mental ill health told them what it was like to live in rural areas.

They said they need a supportive community and highlighted the importance of being able to connect in 'low-level', non-clinical ways, ideally close to where they live. 

Now Support in Mind want to find out more about this and also want to hear your thoughts and ideas. They are carrying out an online survey, which will be open until 2 March 2018.

This is the first phase of a project, and based on what they find out, they are hoping to move to a second phase, where some ideas can be tested in rural Scotland.

Answers to the survey will be treated confidentially. 

If you have any questions about the survey, please feel free to contact RHalley@supportinmindscotland.org.uk.
