Report: Who is responsible for our mental health?

Join our place-based approach to addressing the mental health crisis by understanding what keeps us mentally healthy! 

By better understanding what keeps us mentally healthy, depending on age, gender, culture, and disability, across regions and cities in the United Kingdom, we can better understand each other, invest in new initiatives, strengthen connections and communities, shift behaviour and thinking to drive policy change, and, in turn, reduce the devastating rise of crisis. 

Starting with localised commissioned research, we will work with leading institutions and organisations in regions across the UK to understand the cause, not just treat the symptoms.

Piloting in Bristol 

On September 26th, in partnership with regional businesses and charities, One Question launched our pilot in Bristol, asking, “Who is responsible for our mental health?”  The afternoon conversation explored this One Question from perspectives in healthcare, technology, policy, business, education and community perspectives. Culminating in a piece of street art on the side of Triodos Bank, asking this One Question across the city.

Following the conversation, you can download our “One Question Report: Who Is Responsible For Our Mental Health” as a PDF or read it via the link below. The report reflects on the conversation and identifies key themes and hypotheses that will inform the next phase of our project to prevent the rise of mental illness in the city. 

If you want to be involved in our project or attend a future conversation, email us at conversations@onequestion.live or register your interest here. 

Bristol is just the beginning; with your support, we can model a healthier and happier society, one region at a time.
