Taking Action, Creating Change
Scotland is in a mental health crisis.
The time for waiting is over.
We’re Scotland’s national mental health charity and our ambitious new plan reflects the need for action in a time when mental health in Scotland is as bad as it has ever been. Things need to change.

Introducing The Nook
A place where people can ask once and get help fast.
The Nook will be Scotland's first ever network of walk-in mental health support hubs. A place where anyone can visit to speak about their mental health, get information for themselves or those they love and support, and find out about programmes and services that can help make things better.
Opening first in Glasgow, followed by Nooks in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverclyde and Lanarkshire, there’ll be no need to book an appointment, you can just come along and get help fast.
Our plan is about action and change, and The Nooks demonstrate our commitment to bringing about change.
Helping more people than ever before
At a time where there is a mental health crisis, we’re standing up
We’ll help more people than we have ever before, doing even more for the people we have the greatest concern for.
And we will be redoubling our commitment to campaigning because we know that the mental health system in Scotland is in desperate need of change.
We’re excited about our new four year plan and the change we will bring to Scotland. It's time to take action. It's time to create change.
