Description: ‘Thrive Bristol’ is our city’s ten year programme to improve mental health and wellbeing. It is focusing on how different parts of our city – such as our communities, our places of education and work, and our homes, can keep us mentally healthy, recognising that as little as 10% of our population’s health and wellbeing can be linked to access to healthcare.

The new Thrive at Work West of England programme to support mental health and wellbeing for businesses and staff is now available (see news section ).
Because people in Bristol have higher levels of poor mental health than the England average, this programme’s all-age approach has been established in response to this. It enables support for everyone in the city, with a focus on those with the greatest needs. We are testing new approaches to better understand what improves our wellbeing, to spread improvement across Bristol and beyond.
