Ages&Stages: Early Intervention and Prevention in Mental Health (in-person)

One in four people in Scotland will experience a mental health issue each year. Early intervention and prevention can make a lasting impact—not only on young people but across all stages of life.

Join us for a chance to explore what's next in making early intervention and prevention even more powerful at maintaining mental wellbeing and reducing the impact of mental ill health. Together, we'll examine strategies that support mental health for everyone, everywhere and look closely at what makes a difference in remote and rural areas.
