How we feel and think is central to the way we live our lives. Just like our physical health, our mental health can have ups and downs.

Our mental health is affected by everyday events: like life changes, where we live and work, our physical health and our relationships.

One in four Scots will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives. However stigma and prejudice make it difficult for people to ask for help, find or return to work or even live in their communities without fear of harassment.

In short, we want to promote a better understanding of mental health problems so that people can seek help early and be treated better within their communities.
