SAMH comment on the 2022 Scottish Health Survey
Billy Watson, Chief Executive of SAMH, responds to the Scottish Government's 2022 Scottish Health Survey
For Scotland's Mental Health
We are SAMH, Scottish Action for Mental Health
Because action is what is needed for Scotland’s mental health today, tomorrow and in the future.
As our centenary year draws to a close, we have been thinking about the future. Looking forward to the next century, our name has changed to better reflect what we do.
Our new name is accompanied by a fresh look that encompasses all the things that people love about the SAMH brand with some modern twists. But we want to do more than we have ever done to take action for Scotland’s mental health.
We must innovate, change and evolve to be here for people who need us now and for those who will need us in the future.
Can you help?
Talking is one of the first steps to improving mental health. It can help someone who is at their lowest point. It could save someone’s life.
