6 December 2023 - Is there something on your mind?
Mind to Mind is a dedicated NHS Inform website to help people who may be facing challenges with their mental wellbeing. The website features over 30 videos of people talking about their own mental wellbeing challenges to help others who may be going through the same.
It covers the following topics where each contributor shares practical advice on what has worked for them:
- dealing with anxiety and panic
- coping with money worries
- handling stress
- improving sleep
- lifting mood
- moving through grief
If you're going through a difficult patch, feeling stressed, anxious, or low, it's important to remember that help is available. The Mind to Mind website also provides practical advice on how to deal with life's ups and downs and signposts where people can access further support.
Dr Alastair Cook, Scottish Government's Principal Medical Officer for Mental Health said: "Our mental wellbeing, like other aspects of health and fitness, is something we need to think about regularly. "There are lots of things we can do to improve our mental wellbeing, whether it's making lifestyle changes, moving more, connecting with others or making time to get out in the fresh air. "If you're finding things difficult, it's important to remember support is available."

6 December 2023 - What is your experience of living or working in Glasgow?
You are invited to take part in the Early Engagement for the City Development Plan 2 (CDP2).
CDP2 will be a corporate land use document setting out place specific policies as to the development and regeneration of the city looking 20 years ahead. The new plan will establish where new homes, schools, businesses, and open spaces should be located. It will identify areas that need to be protected and where future investment should be directed.
We want to hear from you!
- Tell us about how you feel about the area where you live, work or visit.
- What do you think needs to be improved?
- What needs to be protected?
- Let us know by taking our My Neighbourhood, My City - Place Standard Survey.
The survey will close on 31 January 2024.
