🌍💞Ahead of tomorrow, we asked our Young People's Panel to share small acts of kindness that have a big impact on them - here's what they said!

Our Young People’s Panel is a group of 12 to 25 year olds helping shape the future of youth mental health in Scotland. They're now developing a multi-year campaign to raise awareness and push for change within the education system.

💬 Want to make a difference too? If you're aged 12-25, you can sign up as a Youth Activist and join us in driving positive change for young people's mental health - https://www.samh.org.uk/get-involved/our-campaigns/youth-activism-and-engagement/cyp-youth-activists

"As soon as you walk through the door you feel at home and relaxed. It just feels like a really warm and inviting space,"

Media volunteer Rebecca shares her experiences with anxiety and how she thinks The Nook will help people across Glasgow.

"A lot of the times mental health support is given through doctors offices and hospitals, and it can feel quite clinical. When I had issues with anxiety, coming home and feeling the warmth of a relaxing environment always helped me. The Nook has that homely feel.

"You don't want to feel like you're coming in to get treated for something. You want to come in for a relaxing conversation with someone that helps your mental health. This feels like exactly that type of space."

We're open for walk-ins between 10am and 5pm on weekdays, and 10am - 4pm on weekends. You can find us at Brunswick House, 51 Wilson Street, Glasgow, G1 1UZ 📍

Halloween at The Hive! 🎃🦇

Over 100 people joined our Halloween party at The Hive, a chill-out space and activity centre at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.

Our very own Daphne and Velma unmasked the villain behind the dastardly dinosaur stealing all the snacks 🦖 Our team then did face painting, before bringing everyone together for a dance floor boogie 🕺
