Our Mission "To improve the lives of people living in Perth and Kinross who experience mental distress and promote more positive public attitudes towards mental health and to those suffering mental illness"
|
| The Scottish Government has announced a new Mental Health Strategy for Scotland, which, for the next four years, will help shape the way Scotland approaches mental health. The Government is asking for the public, charities and medical professionals to tell them what a new Mental Health Strategy should set out to change and how it should do it. You can download the document here, and read more about the consultation on the SAMH website. |
