The resilience group have partnered with the PPWH and pupils will be involved in a project to use the outdoor space and create a planted area for patients and families. The young person’s development officer, Janette McGarvey and senior counsellor, Marion Lang met with the  pupils today to discuss the project and answer questions.

Holly Scally and Hannah Deehan from the S6 pupil mental health committee presented Marion and Janette with a cheque with proceeds raised from the Greggs ‘time for treats and talk’ drop in.

East Renfrewshire Council have developed resources to be used in school and at home to support the Mental Wellbeing of young people.  The guide provides information and practical advice for parents and carers to support their child to manage life’s challenges. This includes information about how low mood, anxiety and stress can affect us, as well as how to develop resilience.  There is also information about relevant local services in East Renfrewshire.
