At the end #MentalHealthAwarnessWeek it has been inspiring to hear so many people share their experiences and positive strategies. A reminder that the SafeSpot app and website have lots of evidence based resources near you. #YouthMentalHealth

Child & Adolescent Faculty Chair, Dr Elaine Lockhart, says at any time 10% of children have a diagnosable mental health problem and specialist services are only funded to see a quarter of them. If you substitute the word cancer in that sentence it would be an outrage. https://t.co/xU1OvgEL2U

@amyferguson93 This is a fab video! We would love to feature your video on our website for young people to access, perhaps with a blog? We already work with Glasgow University and it would be a brilliant addition. How could we contact you to discuss?

[SafeSpot @SafeSpotAppUK]

Exciting meetings this morning for SafeSpot @scotgov thinking about how to grow the project! Its #yearofyoungpeople and what better time to think about #youthmentalhealth in #scotland

[Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealth]

In the past year, 74% of us have felt so stressed we've been overwhelmed or unable to cope. It doesn't have to be this way. See our new animation for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

[SafeSpot @SafeSpotAppUK]

Its #MentalHealthAwarnessWeek and also #yearofyoungpeople in #Scotland . Its important to make as much time for your mental health as your physical health. Remember there are lots of hints & tips on our website and a directory of resources on both the website & app! #mentalhealth

[SafeSpot @SafeSpotAppUK]

Wondering how to bring up #mentalhealth with friends? @StylistMagazine and @Fearnecotton have collaborated on this fab video! A must watch for any young person wondering how to start the conversation... #youthmentalhealth https://t.co/rtptQpgV8Y

[Stylist Magazine @StylistMagazine]

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, so we asked @FearneCotton for some helpful pointers when talking to friends and family about their #mentalhealth.

[SafeSpot @SafeSpotAppUK]

A great video showing the link between our body and mind! #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealth #Glasgow https://t.co/7jQbJLHuqM

Fantastic article by the first minister @NicolaSturgeon . A great example of reading as a relaxation strategy-perhaps one she could add to her ‘coping circle’ within her own personalised @SafeSpotAppUK #youthmentalhealth #yearofyoungpeople #Scotland #mentalhealth https://t.co/r5u4wpWMz6
