APPENDIX 6 PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE SERVICE: WEB-BASED INFORMATION
The Health Education Board for Scotland has been commissioned by the National Programme to Improve Mental Health and Well-Being to provide a web-based information resource to those involved in improving mental health and well-being at both the local and national level.
The aims of the site are:
to collate, make available and disseminate information and material, resources and links to practitioners, policy makers researchers and the general public in Scotland on topics and issues related to improving mental health and well-being
to contribute to improving practice in improving mental health and well-being in Scotland.
Suicide prevention is the first topic to be addressed under this resource. The suicide prevention pages aim to:
complement and support 'Choose Life' Preventing Suicide in Scotland: a National Strategy and Action Plan
provide information to practitioners, policy makers and researchers across Scotland in order to support work around suicide prevention.
The suicide prevention pages are now available and will continue to be developed and updated. You can access information and web links on:
