New report: Protecting the mental wellbeing of our future generations: learning from COVID-19 for the long term. A Mental Wellbeing Impact Assessment Approach.

This comprehensive Mental Wellbeing Impact Assessment (MWIA) has been carried out by the Wales Health Impact Assessment Support Unit to identify the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and associated policy responses, on the mental wellbeing of young people aged 10-24 in Wales.

The report aims to provide evidence and learning to inform cross-sector policy and practice directed at pandemic recovery, future emergencies and improving population mental wellbeing for the long term.

The MWIA published today comprises:

  • Three infographics summarising the main findings
  • An Executive Summary
  • A Main Findings Report
  • A Technical Report (open in Acrobat for full functionality) (English only)

The report and all outputs can be accessed here.

On September 8th, Public Health Network Cymru will host a webinar where the findings of the MWIA will be presented and discussed. You can find out more and register here.
