In a move designed to create a stronger third sector voice for mental health in Scotland, the merger brings together a combined seventy-five years’ experience of improving mental health policy and practice in Scotland.
The Mental Health Foundation is a UK-wide charity that carries out research, campaigns for better mental health services, and works to raise awareness of all mental health issues to help us all lead mentally healthier lives.
Isabella Goldie, Head of Mental Health Programmes at the Mental Health Foundation Scotland said: “The Mental Health Foundation has always been committed to working in partnership and has worked closely with SDC on a range of successful projects over the years.
I have always had a great deal of respect for the work of the SDC and its contribution to improving mental health in Scotland, so I believe that by combining the skills and strong evidence-based approach of both charities, there is an opportunity to make an even greater impact on the quality and accessibility of mental health services in Scotland, helping us all lead mentally healthier lives”.
