We're fighting for a future where no one needs to face mental illness alone.

You can feel anxious and low at the same time. It’s more common than people think.

Anxiety activates: the mind races, scans and prepares.
Depression suppresses: energy drops, motivation fades, everything feels heavier.

Understanding how they coexist gives us clearer language to talk about what’s really going on, and helps us stop expecting people to fit into just one box.

When organisations separate wellbeing from learning and development, mental health support can arrive too late.

Taking place at SCVO's The Gathering, our 'From prevention to potential: building a learning culture for wellbeing' workshop challenges organisations to move from crisis response to embedding mental health into everyday practice.

Designed for leaders and practitioners who want cultures where psychological safety, reflection and learning actively support mental health.

📅 Wednesday 11th February
🕒 1.30 to 2.30pm

Many of us were never taught how the mind actually works. We grow up naming everything as 'stress', 'trauma' or 'sadness' without using language for the processes underneath.

The result is confusion: ordinary experiences can feel alarming, while deeper difficulties often go unnoticed.

Learning the language of mental health can help us understand what we’re experiencing and recognise when support is needed.

🆕 We are partnering with Drax Group UK to deliver mental health training to their staff at Cruachan Power Station!

Through quarterly learning workshops, training will enable employees and contractors to develop the knowledge, skills and practical tools they need to support them to look after both their own and their colleagues' wellbeing.

Cruachan is rural and faces unique challenges. That's why we have tailored the training to their staff, so that training can build resilience and learning sticks to stand the test of time.

Our team recently delivered the first session at Cruachan, followed by an exclusive tour of the power station!

We're looking forward to delivering more training to Drax over the course of the partnership. In the meantime, read more about our Drax partnership in the comments 💭

Organisations and charities all over are delivering real impact, but are they influencing?

This year, we're delivering a session at SCVO's The Gathering to share practical approaches to policy, public affairs and decision-maker engagement.

You’ll gain language, evidence and convincing arguments to take back into your organisation and use!

📅 Wednesday 11th February
🕒 3pm to 4.15pm

Every January we make promises to ourselves. In 2026, let’s make one to each other.

Life will keep testing our mental health and mental illness will continue to affect people we love.

So the promise is this: that together we make the most of what 2026 brings, creating a Scotland where people can access the support they need and when they need it, and stigma is tackled.

What a year! You achieved incredible things in 2025 👏

Your dedication and generosity came in many shapes. You took on marathons, raves, boxing matches, zip slides and the unforgettable May Munro Challenge.

Because of your effort and the support of those around you, it all translated into vital support for people across Scotland when they needed it most.

We’re already looking forward to 2026 and all the ideas still to come!

The media and adverts often reduce Christmas to a single emotion.

But, in reality, most people experience a mix of emotions: relief, excitement, stress, sadness, regret or all of these at once.

Letting these emotions sit side by side can ease some of the pressure of the season. You don’t need to match a fixed festive script.

For practical guidance on navigating the Christmas period, see the resource in the comments 🎄

🆕 Very exciting news: Change Mental Health is thrilled to become Edinburgh Airport's charity partner for 2026 and 2027!

We join forces after winning an Airport-wide staff vote and we are extremely thankful to everyone who selected Change Mental Health.

We cannot wait to get started in the New Year!

For many, joining a Christmas meal is difficult. What helps is the presence of people who notice, reassure and make space.

The gathering organised by our Invergordon resource centre may have looked like another Christmas lunch at Clootie Mctoot Community Investment Cafe, but its meaning for those we support and staff was much greater. It offered community, conversation and encouragement at a time when many feel most alone.

So when the next gathering comes along, note how these spaces can help people feel more seen and filled with purpose.
