Summary of report content

In November 2017, Healthwatch Lewisham took part in the Lewisham Junior Citizen Scheme. Healthwatch delivered a workshop around mental health and the Five Ways to Wellbeing. Healthwatch engaged 989 Primary School children over a two week period.

Key findings

  • There was very limited knowledge around what mental health is. When asked to express words associated with the phrase “mental health”, a large majority of pupils used words such as “disabled” “ADHD” and “autism”.
  • There was often surprise amongst the children when it was explained that everybody has mental health.
  • None of the children who took part had any knowledge of The Five Ways to Wellbeing
  • It was apparent from the feedback received from the teachers who participated in the scheme that the Healthwatch Lewisham contribution was very valuable.
