MNHQ here: fancy having a play with a new NHS-approved tool for mental health support?

Hello,

We've been asked if Mumsnet users would be willing to check out a new NHS-approved tool for mental health support and give some feedback on it - and let us know whether you'd like to see it featured in relevant Talk and content areas across Mumsnet.

You can find it here: it's called Good Thinking and aims to help people find tools and resources to support their mental wellbeing. At the moment some of the resources are a bit biased towards London and the southeast, because the tool has been supported by the Mayor of London's office as well as the NHS, but the aim is to add more national resources over time.

The makers of the tool want to know whether it would be a useful thing to feature on Mumsnet in relevant topics and content areas, so we're throwing it over to you. Would it be a useful addition to the site?

Any feedback or thoughts let us know - and if you have any questions for the developers we'll try to get them answered for you.

Thanks
MNHQ

Thanks very much for everyone's input - we really appreciate the time MNers took to have a look and your really interesting and valuable feedback. Big hugs (if wanted) to those of you in difficult circumstances.

Here's a message from the app developers too:

'Hi everyone,

Good Thinking has been reviewing your comments and wanted to say a big thank you for taking the time to assess and provide honest feedback. If you've yet to take a look but you'd like to do so please do and let us know what you think so the feedback for the programme is as insightful as possible.'

Thanks
MNHQ

@Patico we're so sorry you're having to deal with this. One of our team is going to send you a personal message - you'll see it in your inbox here on site and you'll receive an email notification about it.

Thanks Flores. We wouldn't want to create an expectation that MNHQ could provide MH expertise so that's definitely one to bear in mind, thank you.

(Hugs always welcome here too Grin)

@FloresTorres

Patico Flowers *@RowanMumsnet* Ok here but a hug is always good thanks.Smile

I'm just thinking that there are a lot of issues here for moderation/staff to be considered if you run with it. Increase in MH posting and traffic, particularly at night.SH specifics, ideation etc.

Also, being older I did not find out doing my own assessment but what about women who have pnd, for example and other matters surrounding birth/ menopause/ fertility etc.? Not sure if this is addressed.

Hi Teresac75

So sorry to hear this - it sounds incredibly stressful and upsetting. If you start a discussion thread in our Money Matters topic or our mental health topic, hopefully some other MNers will be able to give you some good advice. We really hope you get good news about your daughter's health and that things start to look up for you soon.

@Teresac75

I’ve been off work for 9 months because my daughter has a life threatening illness. I had ssp up until last week & now it’s going fully over to universal credit. I had to attend a work capability assessment a few weeks ago and they’re saying I’m fit for work, even though my child isn’t attending school and is still extremely poorly. To dispute this they’ve said I need to provide further evidence to support my claim for being off sick. I’m at a loss, I’m already under an immense amount of stress and my GP agrees I’m in no fit state to return to work at this point. Any advice on what I can do or what evidence I could give that may help my case? Sorry for long message just feeling helpless 😞
