The Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) is a scale that assesses positive mental
health (mental well-being). A 1 4 positively worded item scale with five response categories, it covers most
aspects of positive mental health (positive thoughts and feelings) currently in the literature, including both
hedonic and eudemonic perspectives.
We asked our respondents to complete this 1 4 question scale twice. The first time reflecting on their
feelings now and the second reporting on their feelings 2 weeks prior to accessing Positively UK’s peer
support service. The 1 4 questions have scores for the scale, 1 point for None of the time and 5 points for
All of the time. The highest score is 70 and lowest 1 4.
The average score reported on how the respondents were feeling now was 50.3 out of 70 and in the 2
weeks prior to accessing peer support only 41 .5 out of 70 an improvement of 1 2%.
Each scale is out of 5, total 70. On every parameter Pos UK’s peer support had an impact in improving
well-being
