SAMH Launches The Nook in Glasgow

Lodged by Paul Sweeney (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) on the opening of The Nook in Glasgow, the first in its new network of walk-in mental health support hubs; believes that Scotland is experiencing a mental health crisis, with growing demand for mental health support and more community mental health provision needed; welcomes The Nook, which will provide drop-in mental health and wellbeing support that offers choice and flexibility in a safe, stigma-free and non-clinical environment in Glasgow’s city centre, without the need for an appointment or referral, seven days a week; notes that access is not dependent on place of residence, employment or any other status; commends SAMH for this initiative, which it is currently self-funding; believes that this will reduce pressure on statutory services by providing early intervention and preventative support, and wishes SAMH all the best with The Nook in Glasgow, and further Nooks in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverclyde and Lanarkshire by the end of 2028, with the aspiration that all communities in Scotland will ultimately have access to a Nook.
