Also, here’s some tips from SAMH informed by some amazing young people from @St_PaulsRCHS , @Glasgow_Clyde , @WestLoCollege and @ArmadaleAcademy 🥳

Had a 10/10 morning at @St_PaulsRCHS Senior Phase Careers Convention, standing side by side with colleagues from @Glasgow_Clyde Cardonald. I help young people have mentally healthy transitions between the two 👏💫

Half of all mental health problems in adulthood begin before the age of FOURTEEN. Whether you’re a young person looking for help; or worried about a young person, we have information resources and links to other organisations to help you. 👉 ow.ly/1z5N50xysmH #SAMHAdvent


Heading home from a nice afternoon of CPD, planning the Skills Framework for @ArmadaleAcademy with staff and local employers. ‘Resilience’, ’relationship building’ and ‘critical thinking’ were Group 6 (aka ‘Agency’) top skills for our young people 💪 🧐

I didn't realise but now I know. The age limit on ILF has been made higher, meaning more people can apply to enhance their transitions :)

We can’t believe it’s already been 2 weeks since our Transition Fund Celebration Event! Here’s a video we showed on the night, featuring some of our amazing recipients! Don’t forget, we now accept applications from 16-25 year olds! youtube.com/watch?v=e4Sm9k…

The @SAMHtweets CYP team Christmas lunch at Sapporro Teppanyaki! Minus Nina and Shona - working in schools can be rewarding but very flu inducing this time of year. Love, snot and communal eating to all! 🎄

“I was being a typical ‘bad kid’, not revising for exams, getting up to no good. When I took a step away from all of that... I realised I’m the only key to my own future. Now I believe in small goals. Not dwelling on the future but getting through the next 10 mins or hour” #Talk
