The Education Scotland CLD team will be showcasing practice involving CLD focusing on raising awareness of mental health throughout this week. We will be highlighting useful resources and sharing practice examples from across Scotland via Twitter.  Make sure to follow us on Twitter  @edscotcld

The theme of years Mental Health Awareness Week is Loneliness – we know that the CLD sector has a huge impact on supporting people who may experience loneliness and social isolation within their communities. As a team, we will be encouraging spending time outdoors and making connections with others to support our own wellbeing.
