Noticed anything new lighting up the Lanarkshire night sky this week?

All three Lanarkshire hospitals, the Motherwell Civic Centre, and Newarthill village have been lit up in our signature pink in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Week.

Brian Reid, of our Well-Informed Information Service in North Lanarkshire, said the illuminations "represent hope, understanding, and solidarity with people impacted by mental health challenges".

And doesn't everything look better pink?

What are young people worrying about during exams? we asked them đź’¬

Right now, 1 in 3 young people don't feel safe talking about their mental health in school. Our young people's panel are calling for mental health link workers to be introduced across scotland, giving young people a safe and confidential space to chat about their worries.

“What people get out of here is a sense of community, a sense of belonging… and a sense of hope.”

Situated in an old church in the grounds of Royal Edinburgh Hospital, The Hive is safe, informal environment where patients can spend time away from the ward, socialise, and take part in fun activities.

We joined the team on Music Jam Friday to talk about how The Hive supports the wellbeing and recovery journey of people with mental illness.
