Appeal for campaign volunteers

- Staff reporter

Strathaven MP Lisa Cameron is urging young people to volunteer with the charity See Me to oust negative attitudes toward mental health.

People are being asked to join the programme and help young people to speak about mental health.

Dr Cameron, the SNP’S mental health spokespers­on at Westminste­r, said:“i would urge young people to come forward to help peers and to raise awareness. It is vital to have an understand­ing of and empathy for mental health issues.

“Around one in four people are affected by mental health problems in their lives and if more people speak about their difficulti­es it reduces stigma and makes it easier for young people to ask for help.”

The applicatio­n deadline is Friday, September 22. To request a volunteer applicatio­n pack please email laura. sharpe@seemescotl­and. org or call 0141 530 1093.
