The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement of an investment of £20 million to provide more than 80 additional counsellors in further and higher education institutions over the next four years; believes that this will help ensure that students will have access to emotional and mental wellbeing support, and considers that, by working in partnership with the university and college sectors, NUS Scotland and other stakeholders, the additional counsellors will play an integral part in providing support and wrap around care to those most in need.
