In 2017 The Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) developed a pilot programme over three years working with a cohort of secondary schools and Further Education colleges to engage young people around their mental health; improving students’ knowledge and understanding; providing resources to those students and wider teaching and support staff. The pilot focussed on the period of transition of young people from secondary into further education, particularly where deprivation is a factor.
Barcapel donated £75,000 to fund the entire pilot.
