Our aim in Scotland is that we all have good mental wellbeing. Prevention and early intervention can stop problems from getting worse and empower people to manage their own wellbeing. Not every mental health need requires clinical intervention from NHS CAMHS or Psychological Therapies. We can all learn skills to manage the normal ups and downs of life, this is especially important during the pandemic.<\/p>\n
