Answer
The Minding Your Head website was developed in-house and is promoted as part of the wider PHA programme of work on mental health. The PHA undertakes a rolling programme of proactive messaging on mental health-related issues which features and signposts to the Minding Your Head website as a key source of information and advice.
General maintenance costs associated with the Minding your Head website are covered within the wider PHA Communications budget and it is not feasible to disaggregate these specifically for the Minding your Head website.
Development work is currently underway to revise and update the format and content of the Minding your Head website in line with the recommendations of the Mental Health Early Intervention and Prevention Action plan. A budget of approximately £10k has been identified for this work.
