The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Mental Health Foundation on its 70th anniversary; understands that events will take place throughout the year to highlight the foundation’s innovation regarding mental health issues; applauds the organisation’s aim of finding and addressing the root causes of mental ill health and tackling inequalities; recognises what it considers the charity’s leading contribution to mental health research and policy; applauds what it sees as the momentous role that Mental Health Awareness Week, which is run by the foundation, has played for the last 19 years in increasing understanding of mental wellbeing and changing attitudes towards mental health and ill health; recognises the importance of the foundation as a managing partner of See Me, Scotland’s national programme for tackling stigma and discrimination; notes the variety of programmes being run by the foundation to improve people’s lives, particularly the peer education work with young people in schools and the refugee programme, and hopes that the foundation’s work on prevention will continue to support and inspire people across Scotland to look after their mental health.
