More than 300 children and young people were referred for help to new mental health and wellbeing services in the first month after their launch.
Gillian Campbell, acting service manager for Community Health and Wellbeing with Falkirk Council, says the response to the new services - which are all free - shows how badly they are needed and feedback has been positive.
On offer is help for a huge variety of issues that can affect young people, from tackling depression, anxiety and self-harming to building self-confidence and managing emotions. But they are concerned that the message about the new help and support that is now available needs to reach more young people aged over 14, particularly those who are no longer in school.
