Bedford Community Mental Health Survey 2023    
Thank you for taking the time to help Bedford Health and Human Services gather data regarding the community's level of anxiety and depression as well as utilization of mental health services.  National and Statewide trends have shown a significant increase in symptoms of anxiety and depression over the past several years and the increasing need for mental health services.  The Bedford  Community Mental Health Survey uses the PHQ-9 scale and GAD-7 scale to measure symptoms of anxiety and depression.  The data collected will be used to guide outreach services, mental health presentations, and grant opportunities to promote positive mental health in the Bedford Community.  No identifying information is being collected and all responses are confidential.  The survey will be open to members of the Bedford Community until September 1st, 2023.  

If you have questions or are in need of social services, please fell free to call Youth and Family Services at (781) 275-7727 or reach out to Essential Community Services by dialing 211 for references to local resources.   If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis you can dial 988 to be connected to a mental health specialist.   Thank you for your participation in this survey and your responses will allow the HHS Dept. to enhance services to the Bedford Community.
