Do your bit to push mental health up the Aberdeen agenda – it’s really easy

Do your bit to push mental health up the Aberdeen agenda – it’s really easy

Mental health has never been more important. And the challenges of COVID-19 definitely don’t help matters. With (statistically) one in every four Scots set to experience mental ill-health at some point in their lives, support is ESSENTIAL. Beyond essential, actually, if there was a word for that.

So, what better way to emphasise that it’s okay not to be okay (especially at the moment) than sticking MHA’s logo on the one thing everyone wants right now? Yep, you guessed it – the MHA SQUAD Snood has landed! *

Now it’s your turn. PLEASE do your bit to keep mental health on the radar locally:

MHA offers vital help to those who are struggling – but only if they know about it. Support from you (the public, local businesses and other organisations) can bridge that gap and help A LOT.

If wearing your MHA snood signposts just one person to the life-changing services offered by Mental Health Aberdeen, then your job is more than done.

Come on, get involved.
