Founded in 1923, we’ve been working to improve Scotland’s mental health for more than 100 years. From national services, like our confidential Infoline and online wellbeing support Time for You, to our 70 services based in communities across Scotland, we work every day to support better mental health and wellbeing.
We are a service provider and a campaigner. We’re proud of this.
We listen to what matters locally, and we campaign nationally – for the changes, big and small, that can make all the difference in life. Because now, more than ever, we need to make change happen. We take action for Scotland’s mental health.
About the Role
It is an exciting time to be joining SAMH as we launched our new four-year plan ‘Taking Action, Creating Change’. Our new plan, prioritising the needs of people, places and communities, reflects the urgent need for progress, as we know that mental health challenges are at an all-time high in Scotland.
For that reason, we launched our first ever major appeal. We are aiming to raise £10 million over the next three years to transform access to mental health support within communities across Scotland, putting our belief into action, that everyone with a mental health problem should be able to “ask once and get help fast”. This ambitious and bold solution will see SAMH opening a network of walk-in mental health hubs and outreach programmes across Scotland. The Nook
