Mental Health & Suicide Prevention

This Impact Review Report presents the outcomes and influence of Healthwatch Cornwall’s Cornish Communities in Focus: Evolving Voices in Mental Health Report (published February 2025), which captured the real-life experiences of over 2000 people across the county.

Poor mental health continues to be one of the most significant concerns raised by Cornish residents. The purpose of this report is to assess whether commitments and actions described by system partners have translated into improved access, experience, or outcomes for people seeking mental health support.

Residents in Cornwall say more accessible, responsive, and person-centred support is needed to navigate mental health services and reduce the barriers to treatment.
