In response, it sets out a shift from traditional, service-led approaches to a preventative, place-based model focused on addressing the wider determinants of mental health and embedding wellbeing into everyday environments and systems.</p> <p>This ambition is structured around four interconnected priorities:</p> <ul> <li>Healthy People</li> <li>Healthy Families</li> <li>Healthy Communities</li> <li>Healthy Places</li> </ul> <p>To deliver this, Birmingham has established a <strong>Live Framework for Action</strong> — a dynamic, continuously evolving approach to planning and delivery that integrates behavioural science, data and co-production to ensure action is responsive, evidence-led and focused on reducing inequalities.</p> <p>Central to this approach is the <strong>Birmingham Mental Health Atlas (BMHA)</strong>, a live intelligence and mapping tool that brings together data on deprivation, population need, demographics, services, community assets and environmental factors at neighbourhood level. This enables real-time, place-based insight, highlighting where need is greatest and where intervention is most needed.</p> <p>The Wellbeing Index builds directly on this foundation. The Atlas provides the detailed, place-based intelligence, while the Index brings this data together into a clear, structured and comparable measure of wellbeing and inequality across the city. Together, they support a more consistent understanding of variation across communities and strengthen evidence-based decision-making and prioritisation.</p> <p>The Index forms part of a live and evolving system. As delivery action plans are finalised and implemented through the Live Framework for Action, it will be further enhanced through the integration of additional data, indicators and outcome measures, particularly those linked to delivery and impact.</p> <p>Together, the strategy, Live Framework for Action, Mental Health Atlas and Wellbeing Index represent a connected system for change — moving Birmingham from high-level ambition to practical, data-informed action, and ensuring that improving mental health and wellbeing remains an ongoing, adaptive and equitable process, grounded in evidence and lived experience.</p> | https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/birmingham-s-wellbeing-index-2026-metadata/ | Birmingham City Council | https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ | 2026-11-09T11:04:14+00:00 | 2026-11-09T11:04:14+00:00 | ["community outcomes", "equity", "exclude", "humand needs", "quality of life", "social indicators", "social progress", "wellbeing", "wellbeing index"] | ["https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/?refine.theme=Economy", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/?refine.theme=Education", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/?refine.theme=Employment", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/?refine.theme=Environment", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/?refine.theme=Health", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/?refine.theme=Housing"] | https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/birmingham-s-wellbeing-index-2026-metadata/ | https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/birmingham-s-wellbeing-index-2026-metadata/ |
