Mental Health and Wellbeing JSNA

The mental health and wellbeing joint strategic needs assessment (JSNA) profile provides information with which to support health and wellbeing boards to produce local mental health and wellbeing JSNAs. The profile collates and presents a wide range of data, developed from a variety of relevant, robust sources. The profiling tool allows planners, providers and stakeholders to profile their area and benchmark against similar populations. The aim is to provide information for improvement, not judgement.

Tool structure

The JSNA profiling tool brings together a range of data, presented in the form of indicators, which are divided into six topic areas:

  • prevalence and incidence
  • risk factors
  • protective factors
  • wellbeing
  • services
  • quality and outcomes

A number of geographies are available with which to view each indicator and these include NHS geographies such as clinical commissioning group (CCG), integrated care board (ICB), and local government geographies such as upper tier local authority (UTLA) and regions, as well as England level data.

Supporting information

The profile is supported by a range of intelligence products with which to assist health professionals when producing JSNAs. These resources can be found at:
