This year’s Volunteers’ Week is from 1 to 7 June, and is a time to say thanks and recognise the fantastic contribution made by volunteers across Glasgow City Health and Social Care (HSCP) services.

The Compassionate Distress Response Service (CDRS) – Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) service to support adults experiencing emotional distress – celebrated the first anniversary of its Out of Hours service on 25 May 2021.

The Charity for Gartnavel Royal Hospital is currently looking to recruit more volunteer Trustees and Fundraisers, to help find creative ways to develop its capacity to support the mental health recovery of the hospital’s patients. 

Spending time in nature has been found to help with mental health problems including anxiety and depression, and this is the theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from 10 to 16 May 2021. 

National Mental Health Nurses Day on 21 February is an opportunity to promote and celebrate Mental Health Nursing in the UK, and recognise and thank nursing staff working in mental health services.

The efforts of staff to continue to provide excellence in care at an adult mental health ward at Leverndale Hospital in Glasgow during the pandemic have been praised by Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland.

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (GCHSCP) is responsible for the planning, design and delivery of Child, Adult and Older People's local health and social care services.

Anyone watching swing dancer, Adriana Klick, bounce through the Lindy Hop would be shocked to learn she has had suicidal thoughts.

The bubbly, energetic 42-year-old has struggled with her emotional wellbeing since her teens and been on anti-depressants for two decades.

Congratulations to former Glasgow Health & Social Care employee, Colin Fraser, who has been named Mental Health Officer of the Year 2020.
