Scotland
The mental health of children and young people has been a key focus for the Scottish government in recent years.
In 2018, the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Task Force was set up, tasked with improving mental health services for children across the country. They have made recommendations including focusing on a whole-systems approach to mental health, and putting the voices of children at the centre of policy and programme change.
This section of the website will help Scottish schools develop a whole-school approach to children’s mental health, learning how to involve every part of the school community in developing a truly mentally healthy school.
