We all have mental health
It’s never been more important to look after your mental health and wellbeing.
Anyone can experience a mental health problem or poor mental health: especially now. Whether you’re looking for information or seeking support, we can help.
We are living in ever-changing times.
You might find you are experiencing poor mental health for the first time, or that previous mental health problems feel heightened. There are things you can do to help protect your mental health and wellbeing, or help the people you love who you might be worried about.
SAMH is here for Scotland’s mental health. We provide mental health information and local support, campaign for mental health rights and much more.
