Manage your own wellbeing using WEMWBS
How happy are you? Would you like to measure your wellbeing?
Good mental wellbeing – some people call it happiness – is about more than avoiding mental health problems. It means feeling good and functioning well.
You can monitor your own wellbeing using a tool called WEMWBS (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale), a scale which is often used by scientists and psychologists to measure wellbeing.
The WEMWBS questionnaire for measuring mental wellbeing was developed by researchers at Warwick and Edinburgh Universities (see Tennant R, Hiller L, Fishwick R, Platt P, Joseph S, Weich S, Parkinson J, Secker J, Stewart-Brown S (2007) The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS): development and UK validation, Health and Quality of Life Outcome; 5:63 doi:101186/1477-7252-5-63).
To get your wellbeing score, you go through a series of statements and tick the box that best describes your thoughts and feelings over the last two weeks. Click here to download a blank WEMWBS template. The 2nd page of the template gives assistance in what each score means.
You can measure and improve your wellbeing by using the local authorities website for Five Ways to Wellbeing where you will find a lot more useful information and also complete WEMWBS online click here for more details.

Mind believes Black Lives Matter. In mental health there is a huge disparity in how black people are listened to and supported at every level.
Black people are four times more likely to be detained, and more likely to be restrained and isolated under the outdated Mental Health Act. This weekend marks 18 months since the Mental Health Act review - and we are still waiting for the UK Government to make vital changes.
At Mind, we have campaigned alongside the most marginalised and discriminated against. We also recognise the white privilege inherent in our own organisation and we are committed to addressing this.
We won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect. We know there is a lot of work to do and we will fight for everyone.
It's #VolunteerWeek and we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all our volunteers. We couldn’t deliver our vital services across #Rochdale #Middleton and #Heywood without your support #NeverMoreNeeded
It’s important to look out for one another, please check in with others, in a safe way, and if anyone is struggling with their mental health and wellbeing, please contact us. Our self-referral form is here: www.rochdalemind.org.uk/refer & Information Line 01706 752 338
