Since 2021, local organisations have received funding from the Community Mental Health Wellbeing Fund to support residents living in West Dunbartonshire. Yesterday (17th September) we brought together 29 of them for a Network meeting, giving the organisations the chance to meet with other recipients, getting to know what they do and making connections for possible collaboration in the future.
We opened the meeting with a presentation from guest speaker Emily Aitken, Programme Lead for Mental Health, Trauma and Suicide Prevention at West Dunbartonshire HSCP. Emily presented the national and local context on trauma, Trauma Informed Practice, and local priorities.
To finish the day, we held a discussion on the possible gaps in mental health provision in West Dunbartonshire.
We would like to thank everyone that attended and for their contribution to the day.
