Looking After Our Mental Health
Looking after our mental health is important every day of the year, but World Mental Health Day provides us with the opportunity to pause and reflect on the mental health of ourselves and those around us.

Glasgow City Youth Health Service Launched Across Glasgow
Glasgow City Youth Health Service offers confidential, personalised support to young people aged 12 to 19 years.

Funding for the service is provided by the HSCP.
New Homes to Transform Lives of Long Term Hospital Residents
People with learning disabilities who have spent years in hospital are set to enjoy new lives in the community thanks to Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP).
Two vacant bungalows in Kirkintilloch will be bought by the HSCP and refurbished to a high standard - enabling eight people to move out of hospitals and enjoy greater independence in the community.
The plan will offer enhanced community living for adults with learning disabilities who will have their own en-suite bedrooms as well as communal kitchens, living, dining and garden spaces.
Thanks to Staff Testing Team at Barr Street Clinic
In July Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) established a Staff Testing Team in response to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our care homes and the need to put in place weekly COVID-19 testing arrangements for staff.
This service is now in the process of transferring to the Regional Testing Hub that is a centralised model across Scotland allowing our team to be disbanded. It is important to acknowledge the work the staff have undertaken during this challenging period and thank them for their hard work and commitment.
