Healthwatch North Yorkshire report on the impact of their 2023 report about mental health provision.
As a result of that report, the local NHS has introduced complex emotional needs specialists, mental health practitioners in GP practices and provided training for people to use a trauma-informed care approach when helping people.
The North Yorkshire and York Mental Health Alliance has worked with Healthwatch North Yorkshire and Healthwatch York to hear from people to better understand the challenges they face. This includes ensuring that health care services are culturally sensitive, accessible and put together with people who have lived through trauma.
