Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy & Delivery Plan
The Scottish Government & COSLA have jointly published the Mental Health & Wellbeing Delivery Plan 2023-25.
This follows the publication of the Mental Health & Wellbeing Strategy in June and describes the work they will undertake to improve mental health for everyone in Scotland.
The Delivery Plan focuses on nine outcomes describing the differences or changes that they want to see as a result of this Strategy.
The commitments in our Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy and actions that will be taken over the coming years to achieve this are detailed in the Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy which has been published alongside and will interact closely with the Delivery Plan.
The Delivery Plan includes a specific actions in relation to student mental health:
Strategic Action 2.6: We will work with partners to enhance mental health and wellbeing support in educational settings.
- Throughout the lifespan of this Delivery Plan, work with colleges and universities to ensure the mental health and wellbeing needs of students are met, and utilise investment in supports and services with a focus on early intervention. We will explore opportunities to improve acute services pathways and promote the value of embedding student mental health agreements within institutions through NUS Think Positive.
