We had an AMAZING time at #OrkneyYC2023 yesterday! ⭐
It's been great to get on the road to speak more about tackling mental health stigma among young people, and how we can all work together to create change.
Thanks to all who came along!
Last weekend we travelled to Inverness with two young people from Orkney to meet, share ideas and participate with their peers from across the #NAllianceScot. Lots of discussions now to take this forward…..
Last weekend, the #NorthernAllianceYouthAdvisoryGroup held their first residential. After three days of workshops, young people identified a key takeaway: 'We want better communication about what we want for our future.' Read more about the event here: https://t.co/br9j1Okyxs.
