Supporting agencies
We are not experts in mental wellbeing. We aim to work with a range of partners including LawCare, NHS Scotland, See Me, SAMH and others to increase our awareness and understanding of wellbeing issues. We want to help our members maintain psychological health at work and to successfully meet the challenges of professional life.
