Motion · S5M-19198 · 1 Oct 2019
World Mental Health Day
The motion
That the Parliament recognises that 10 October 2019 is World Mental Health Day; understands that the overall objective of the day is to increase awareness and broaden knowledge about mental health issues and to help reduce stigma; acknowledges that the Scottish Government outlined a new approach to addressing mental health through its 10-year strategy, which runs from 2017 to 2027; understands that the initial action plan specifies mental health problems specific to Scotland, including the significant increase in the percentage of children reporting poor mental health, and commends the action of the Scottish Government in tackling mental health problems with the same commitment as it gives to physical health issues.
