Everyone in the Wimmera is encouraged to fill in a survey which aims to capture how COVID-19 has impacted the mental health and well-being of the population.
The survey seeks to measure the effect of social isolation and social distancing and how people’s lives may have changed due to the global pandemic. It is important the survey reaches as many people as possible as the data collected will inform how local health service providers can best support people now, and in the immediate future.
The survey is being conducted across Hindmarsh, Yarriambiack, West Wimmera Shires and Horsham Rural City by a community coalition made up of representatives of local governments, health services and agencies, education and volunteering organisations, and community representatives, with lead roles taken by the West Wimmera Health Service Health Promotion Team and LaTrobe University's School of Rural Health.
The survey can be found online and closes at the end of June.
