Young people in Perthshire have been getting daily ‘check-ins’ from leading local mental health charities and meeting ‘ambassadors’ who are from their own age group.
The Lighthouse for Perth and Mindspace have been working with Crieff High School and Kinross High, as part of Children’s Mental Health Week (February 6-12).
With a growing demand among the under 20s, the Lighthouse estimates 40-plus local young people a week are in contact requiring someone to talk to.
