Have your say on mental health support in Tees Valley

News - 27 January 2026

Healthwatch in Tees Valley would like to hear from people who have needed ongoing mental health support, especially where things haven’t worked as well as they should.

A conversation, not a complaint.

You might want to get in touch if:

▪️You’ve moved between hospital and community mental health services
▪️You’ve needed more support at home or in the community, but struggled to get it
▪️You or someone you care for has felt stuck between services or unsure where to turn next
▪️There have been repeat hospital admissions and not enough support in between

We’re also keen to hear from family members and carers supporting someone in this situation.

What you share will be:

▪️Confidential
▪️Anonymous
▪️Used to help NHS services understand what needs to improve, quickly

You don’t need to make a complaint or fill in a form. You can simply talk to us, by phone or in person, and we’ll listen.

To share your experience, get in touch with us:
