WellbeingSouthLan

Delivering Organisation:

  • South Lanarkshire Children’s Services Partnership

Mental Health Support:

  • WellbeingSouthLan is aimed at young people in South Lanarkshire aged 10-26, and those who support them. The website has been created due to feedback from young people in South Lanarkshire that suggested they wanted to go somewhere to find credible information online and that had local services. Young people have been involved in every stage of the design of this process. They have chosen the name, logo and branding and topics involved. We are very grateful to the young people from a variety of South Lanarkshire secondary schools, Universal Connections, Scottish Youth Parliament and from the GoTo project for supporting this and spending so much time on this project.
