Issues Facing Parents Who have Mental Health Problems
Started 2012 and earlier. Work with Stepping Stones exploring the issues that many parents who have mental health problems have said affect them and their children. We produced this paper as it builds on work we did with Stepping Stones, which is a member-led voluntary organisation in West Dunbartonshire which delivers services to people with mental health problems.

Seton Care Befrienders
Started 2014. The Seton Care Befrienders project is a response to the gap identified by older people living in Berwickshire (the eastern part of Scottish Borders) and the north part of Northumberland around Berwick-upon-Tweed. They wanted company and friendship and someone to do things with when this was becoming harder.
