SAMH launches new Gifts in Wills campaign

For Scotland's Mental Health
We are SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health)
Introducing The Nook, Scotland's first ever network of walk-in mental health support hubs.
The Nook will provide barrier-free access to mental health support. There will be no need to book an appointment, no need for NHS referrals, and no waiting lists.
Anyone looking for help can walk through the door whenever they need to.
