Hamilton Health and Social Care Forum (HHSCF) launched its new booklet, identifying localised “Positive Pathways for Mental Health and Wellbeing” during Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2021.

Designed and published by the HHSCF, the document has been co-produced with community members and local organisations (voluntary & statutory) operating in and around the Hamilton Locality area of South Lanarkshire which includes Hamilton, Blantyre and Larkhall.

The document is intended to assist individuals and organisations by identifying various service pathways that could help with issues that, if not addressed, could negatively affect an individual’s Mental Health and Wellbeing.

It is hoped that both communities and partners find use for this document and that it helps many people to understand the breadth of local organisations that can help across various themes and issues. The release of this Pathway contributes to the aims of the HHSCF which are to continue to work locally to strengthen communities within the Hamilton locality, positively promote local organisations, involve people, and encourage them to have a voice in health and social care matters whilst promoting and protecting valuable NHS services.
