see me....Scotland
"see me’ is Scotland’s national campaign to end the stigma and discrimination of mental ill-health. It is an alliance of five mental health organisations and fully funded by the Scottish Government. This campaign was launched in 2002.
‘see me’ has a new National Plan 2008 – 2011 which will be available in full on the website shortly.

Chooselife
Every day, around two people die from suicide in Scotland
In 2002, the Scottish Government launched Choose Life, a ten year strategy and action plan to reduce suicide in Scotland.
Choose Life sets out a framework to ensure that action is taken nationally and locally to build skills, develop training, encourage people to seek help early, improve knowledge and awareness of 'what works' to prevent suicide, and to encourage partnership working and improved co-ordination between services.
Suicide prevention is everyone's business
Don't hide it. Talk about it.
