Summary of report content

Healthwatch Calderdale and Healthwatch Kirklees wanted to to find out what women in their communities are currently doing to look after their health and wellbeing and how confident they feel doing so. During October and November 2023, they heard from 665 women aged 16+, from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds, and from every postcode area in Kirklees and Calderdale.

The top five ways in which women look after their mental health are:

  1. Activities to help relieve stress
  2. Spending times with friends and family
  3. Staying active
  4. Taking up hobbies
  5. Asking for help when needed.
