Mental Health & Wellbeing Network for Children, Young People & Families

A thematic network has been established to enhance mental health and wellbeing services for children, young people, and families in South Lanarkshire. Open to all third sector and public sector organisations/groups, this network aims to create connections, enhance the knowledge of already existing mental health and wellbeing services, and prioritise mental health support in the community.”
“Network events are held quarterly throughout the year and rotate between local areas, including Clydesdale, East Kilbride, CamGlen, and Hamilton. These events feature presentations, interactive workshops, and Q&A sessions, offering valuable opportunities to enhance services, explore partnership possibilities, and share insights with others in the sector. 
 

You can find links to the slides and workshops from past events here.
