Over 22,000 young people in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton have been surveyed about their wellbeing as part of the annual #BeeWell programme. Year 8 and 10 students in over 100 schools have taken part in the programme this Autumn. #BeeWell uses a co-designed survey to listen to the voices of as many young people as possible, publish the results privately to schools and publicly by neighbourhood, and drive action across society to improve young people’s wellbeing. The programme grew out of the partnership of The University of Manchester, Anna Freud, The Gregson Family Foundation, and Greater Manchester Combined Authority and was launched following the results of the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The #BeeWell survey for Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton was co-created by 200 young people across 15 schools in the region before its launch in September this year. Over 30 organisations across the region have committed to acting on the data to improve the well-being of young people and deliver meaningful, youth-centred actions. It comes as findings from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) show that work to improve young people’s mental wellbeing matters more than ever. The OECD has this week published its latest Programme for International Student (PISA) report, following an international study undertaken by 690,000 15-year-olds. The report reveals that the average life satisfaction of young people in the UK is the 2nd lowest in the OECD ahead of only Turkey. The UK scores 4th from bottom amongst all 74 participating countries. The #BeeWell team will now begin analysing the feedback from the 1st year of surveys in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton. The data will be made publicly available at the end of March 2024. James Robertson, National Director for #BeeWell said:
“The enthusiasm in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton to deliver the #BeeWell programme has been inspiring. I’m so grateful to the young people who co-created the survey and to the schools and partners for all their hard work to allow so many voices to be heard. All their hard work amplifies the voices of young people at a time when listening to young people has never been more important. The focus at #BeeWell now is to drive action across the region in response to the survey.”
Well done lads, that’s helped him a lot.
Shame you don’t go and red dot or taser a few knife wielding terrorists before they slaughter children huh.
What are you saying, that they shouldn’t have detained him?
Or that, if he’s known for violence, that the police shouldn’t have a way of protecting themselves (the taser wasn’t used, it was simply ready to be used if required)?
I’m not the biggest fan of the police and the way they present themselves these days, but I can’t see anything wrong with detaining someone who may be a risk to themselves or to others.
It sounds as though the fella was in crisis.
Look at the picture, you may get an idea of his intent?…..
Needs help, not further persecution perhaps.
But it’s only a middle aged man, unfortunately we don’t seem to count for much these days, other than being labelled far right thugs, misogynistic etc etc.
Old school old fool in reality, what a stupid ,biggotted, brainless comment
Are you a gen z marxist ?
More and more men of all ages are suffering mental health issues, they don’t know what their role in life is anymore….It seems that the world is against them, with few rights…
Like the right to treat women just as they please? Poor things.
It’s the ‘revolving door’ syndrome. Patient is stabilised and sent home – patient feels better – thinks he doesn’t need medication now – has the right to refuse entry to mental health and support professionals – day care centres closed – patient not seen for weeks – spirals into another crisis – placed into mental health unit- stabilised and sent home. This will go on until the day care centres are reopened and the staff can note evidence of self neglect and darkening mood before crisis is reached.
I was replying to Joe Bloggs, Grannie, who wasn’t making the same point as you.
Day care centres?
Not the way to treat mental health sufferers atall will only make him worse poor man hope he gets the help he needs
Very much true police aren’t Ali to mental health as it should more of a wiser knowing
What a loser, probably got a dear John letter and wanted to make it all about him. Probably unemployed, I would give him job, but that might give him a heart attack. What a waste of space, time and resources
I hope that no one you know ever suffers a mental health crisis. They would obviously never feel confident in confiding in you if this is your attitude towards it. Shame on you.
A lot of probablies in there. Pure speculation when you have no idea. You probably don’t even have work for him and are probably just making stuff up to make yourself feel better at someone else’s expense…… probably.
I was a Royal Marine for 17 years and have seen some horrific sights and have been so frightened at times when in combat I have been very near to wetting myself. I am not alone in this and it NEVER leaves you, you always have the pictures in the back of your mind. When I went back into “civvy street” I went to work in the funeral business and again saw some horrible things. Bodies half eaten away by maggots, tiny children dead long before their time. Hangings, shootings (suicides), picking up the pieces after someone has jumped in front of a fast moving train. I think that I am lucky to not have gone down that road to have had a breakdown, but we are not all the same. I wonder, John, how you would have coped? Little man, big talk.
We don’t know why he was detained but can only think he may have been a danger to the public & himself. Thanks to the police involved it can be investigated safely
I’m sure almost but not 100% who he is as pic doesn’t allow show face but id say he looks lost agrieved and need of help really feel for this for some unknown reason.
Why has everyone got mental health issues these days I remember the days when people had problems and dealt with them the best they could.i was born in the 60s and our generation are strong,hardworking not hypochondriacs, proud and have morals oh hang on then mobile phones,social media Facebook being the worst took over and now we’ve got a whole new generation of woe is me
