COSLA's Health and Social Care Spokesperson, Councillor Paul Kelly has commented on World Mental Health Day.
Councillor Kelly said:
"I am delighted to highlight that today, 10th October 2024, is World Mental Health Day.
This year’s theme is workplace mental health. Addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace is crucially important for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities.
As co-owners of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy and the Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Action Plan with Scottish Government, Local Government remains committed to supporting better mental health and wellbeing for all in our communities, including our workforce. We will continue to work collectively across, and beyond government to realise the ambitions of the joint plans.”
